Goals win games Tottenham striker Harry Kane has scored once in four league appearances against Brighton, though that goal came in this exact fixture last season.

180º please, Mauricio After an unbeaten run of nine Premier League away games (W6 D3), Spurs have lost two of their last four on the road in the top-flight (W2). Spurs have only failed to find the net once in their previous 15 matches against Brighton in all competitions, a 1-0 loss at White Hart Lane in October 1981
