will descend on the Amex Stadium this Sunday still riding the high of an explosive performance to dismantle 3-0 last weekend. The hosts, , are without a win in four games since their own win against United in August.

side are riding a wave of momentum amid a run of five straight victories in all competitions, and he has some big decisions to make on the south coast.

Express Sport takes a look at Tottenham's likely starting line-up as they seek to apply further pressure on the spots.

Tottenham's predicted XI vs Brighton (4-3-3) Goalkeeper: Vicario

Guglielmo Vicario boasts the joint-second lowest goals conceded per 90 minutes total among Premier League goalkeepers with at least three appearances this season (0.83). He's starting.

Defence: Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie

Destiny Udogie was withdrawn at half-time at Old Trafford last weekend and stayed at home for the midweek trip to Hungarian champions Ferencvaros.

But Postecoglou has confirmed that he's hopeful the 21-year-old left-back will be available, so he's in a good position to start. Pedro Porro will retain his spot at right-back.

Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven will resume their centre-back partnership at the heart of the Spurs.

That's if the latter has stopped watching replays of his sensational assist for Brennan Johnson's opener against United, for which he has been the subject of jokes from team-mate James Maddison.

Midfield: Bentancur, Maddison, Kulusevski

Postecoglou wouldn't be questioned for naming an unchanged side from the one that completely dominated Erik ten Hag's outfit.

And that's what he'll likely do. It would mean Rodrigo Bentancur, Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski continue as a dynamic midfield three.

Kulusevski created a staggering nine chances last weekend, as well as scoring Spurs' second goal, and looks to be thriving in his tweaked role.

Attack: Johnson, Werner, Solanke

Brennan Johnson is absolutely loving life, following up 13 goalless matches by scoring in five consecutive appearances.

He has laughed in the face of online trolls and abusers who forced him to deactivate his social media accounts due to vile abuse directly before his hot streak of form.

Postecoglou was less optimistic about Heung-min Son's injury recovery than Udogie, so the Spurs talisman is expected to remain sidelined until after the October international break.

Timo Werner is set to continue in his place, with Dominic Solanke vying to add to his three goals in his last four games.
