Premier League 2025-2026: Brighton-Tottenham, the likely lineups

The Premier League 2025-26 is ready to provide entertainment with the fifth-day matches scheduled for the weekend: as many as seven matches will be played on Saturday, including Brighton–Tottenham. The match will kick off at 4 p.m., the same time as three other challenges on the calendar.

Fabian Hürzeler’s Brighton is coming off a second defeat of the season, suffered at Bournemouth’s ground 2-1 last weekend. It was a setback that came right after their first league win, which came at home against Manchester City. The Seagulls thus remain stuck on 4 points and will now face a tough opponent like Tottenham.

On the other hand, bright start for Thomas Frank’s new Tottenham: four wins in the first five Premier League matches, with the only misstep just against Bournemouth. After the surprise farewell of Ange Postecoglou in the summer, the Londoners seem to have regained energy and solidity. They now aim to build on the good momentum in the away match at Brighton, a challenge the Danish coach said he looks forward to with great confidence.

Probable lineups

Brighton (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Veltman, van Hecke, Dunk, de Cuyper; Baleba, Milner; Mitoma, Rutter, Minteh; Welbeck. Coach: Hurzeler.

Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Pedro Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Spence; Bentancur, Palhinha; Kudus, Sarr, Simons; Richarlison. Coach: Frank.
