Line Ups: Tottenham v Brighton – Son on bench

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has named his side which will take to the field in this afternoon’s Premier League fixture against Brighton and Hove Albion.

Tottenham will be looking to pile the pressure on Aston Villa ahead of their fixture against Manchester United on Sunday with the North Londoners having the opportunity to leapfrog them back into fourth place in the Premier League table with victory over Brighton.

Earlier this week saw the return of both Yves Bissouma and club captain Heung-min Son after their respective involvement at AFCON and the Asian Cup came to an end with the exits of Mali and South Korea.
