- Paulo Gazzaniga replaces Michel Vorm between the sticks
BRIGHTON 0-0 TOTTENHAM
8: Chris Hughton always looks like he’s trying to work out 4374546 x 8887. A mixture of concentration and complete confusion. Anyway, he should be happy enough with the start Brighton have made. No chances and good pressing across the board.
5: The Amex really is a fortress for Brighton. They’ve only lost four times there since being promoted. Alderweireld plays a searching ball to Trippier on the right flank but he’s flagged for offside. He wasn’t. Poch just threw his arms up in frustration.
3: These are pretty horrible conditions for football. Well that’s what I though but Glenn Hoddle on BT Sport says they are perfect conditions for slick, skilful players. What do I know, eh?
Spurs win an early corner with Eriksen playing it shorty to Moura, whose delivery is atrocious.
BRIGHTON 0-0 TOTTENHAM
1: Sorry there’s no time for pleasantries today. We’re a little bit stretched at Express HQ today with the Anthony Joshua fight tonight. Anyway, I’ll stop with the excuses and start bringing you some updates from a soaking wet Amex Stadium.
