Tottenham vs. Brighton – Will Son and Kane Continue to Wreak Havoc?

Son Heung-Min and Harry Kane will lead the charge as Tottenham seek to climb the Premier League table by beating Brighton on Sunday.

South Korean forward Son is now the top scorer in the division after banging in eight goals in just six games. Assist king Kane has set up all of them, and the England captain has also fired in five goals of his own during those six matches.

Manager Jose Mourinho can still call upon Real Madrid loanee Gareth Bale to add another dimension to his attack, plus the likes of Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn, so Tottenham look exceptionally dangerous going forward.

Dunk Absence Could Prove Costly

That could spell trouble for Brighton, who are missing suspended captain Lewis Dunk. He was sent off for a reckless challenge on Gary Cahill during a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace earlier this month.

The Seagulls then drew 1-1 with newly promoted West Brom on Monday, leaving them with just one win from six games so far.

They have played some really nice football in patches, but they have not had the rub of the green. They have also lacked killer instinct in front of goal, while the defence has been leaky, leaving Brighton 16th in the table.

Mourinho to Outfox Potter

Spurs are also poor at the back. They have conceded eight times in six matches, including a disappointing 3-3 draw with West Ham. Yet they are now unbeaten since the opening weekend of the season, and they are oozing with confidence in attack.

If Brighton stick with three at the back, Son and Bale could cause them all sorts of problems at the back. Mourinho is now longer routinely referred to as the special one, but he remains a masterful tactician, and he should have the nous to get the better of Brighton’s Graham Potter on Sunday.

Tip: Tottenham to win and over 1.5 goals

Stake: One unit
