Tottenham Hotspur looks to make it six straight wins across all competitions when the north London outfit squares off against Brighton & Hove Albion this weekend.
Spurs picked up its second win of the Europa League league phase last time out, winning 2–1 over Ferencváros as Brennan Johnson scored for the fifth consecutive game.
Tottenham sits in eighth place in the Premier League table on 10 points, just one point ahead of its weekend opponent Brighton—head coach Fabian Hürzeler also deploys a similar high defensive line like Postecoglou.
Tottenham ran riot at Old Trafford in its last Premier League match winning 3–0 over Manchester United. The team was without captain Son Heung-min for the match while Destiny Udogie was substituted off at halftime with a knock.
"… Out of the guys who sort of stayed back [in London for the Ferencváros match], Destiny we think will be okay," Postecoglou said in a pre-match press conference on Friday. "We have training today and tomorrow so he has to get through that. Sonny unlikely, he's pushing hard but I just don't think the turnaround will be quick enough for him to be available at this stage."
Postecoglou will look to keep the momentum rolling and field a similar XI that picked up three points against United.
