Fifth placed Tottenham host Brighton and Hove Albion in a vital match for both side's European competition qualifying hopes. The visitors start the weekend in sixth place but are four points behind Tottenham with two games in hand. Tottenham are three points behind Newcastle in third and Manchester United but have played a game more than both sides. By the time this game starts, the gap between them and Manchester United will be six points if they beat Everton at home earlier in the day. Tottenham come into this match having drawn both of their previous two league games. They led by two goals at Southampton and conceded a late equalizer at Everton on Monday, so all a bit frustrating for them. Only one of their last four league games has been won. That was a 3-1 home win over Nottingham Forest who have the worst away record in the Premier League. Their home form is strong with four straight league wins including victories over Manchester City and Chelsea. They need to start keeping clean sheets again with their last three games all seeing both teams score.

It's an exciting time for Brighton and Hove Albion. They're hoping to qualify for European competition for the first time and can get there either through the league or the FA Cup. Last weekend saw them held to a 3-3 home draw by Brentford but midweek went better with a 2-0 win at Bournemouth. Only the top three in the table have a better away Premier League record than Brighton this season. Six games have been won and only Arsenal have scored more on the road than the Seagulls. They are unbeaten in their last seven away league games, though the win at Bournemouth ended a run of seven consecutive away league games in which both teams scored and ten in a row where they conceded a goal. A bet on both teams to score in this game looks a winning one.
