I’m a massive fan of Minteh, I think he’s got all the attributes to develop into a top winger in the Premier League and he’s already shown that in the early parts of the season. He’s registered one assist and had seven shots across his four Premier League appearances (1.86 per 90).

Brighton only managed to have six shots against Bournemouth in their most recent Premier League fixture, but Minteh was responsible for half of these attempts, underlining his shot threat in this Brighton side.

He also had two shots in Brighton’s 2-1 win over Man City in their last home game, which shows that Minteh can get shots away against the elite sides in the Premier League.

Minteh had two shots in this fixture last season as Brighton ran out 4-1 winners over Tottenham. He also had two shots and scored when the sides met in North London in the 24/25 season.

Xavi Simons is an incredibly talented player, but he does have an edge of petulance to his game which is reflected in his foul numbers. Simons is clearly eager to establish himself in this Tottenham side and committed two fouls against Villarreal last time out.

He was shown a yellow card in that game and contested 11 duels, also winning two fouls in the process. I find it quite interesting that Frank has decided to platform Simons on the left hand side. I personally think he’s more effective in a central role, but Simons being out on that side actually aids our selection.

This is because Simons will be up against Joel Veltman, who is extremely capable when it comes to winning fouls. Veltman has won seven fouls across his two Premier League appearances so far this season (3.50 per 90). This isn’t a fluke either, Veltman won 44 fouls across his 19 Premier League starts last season (2.33 per 90), so it is a consistently strong part of his game.

Thomas Frank’s comments after his side's 1-0 win over Villarreal were very interesting to hear. He said that he wants to instill a mentality of clean sheets in this Tottenham side, which is proving to be very effective in the early parts of the season, with Tottenham conceding just one goal across their five matches in all competitions up until this point.

However, Frank must be careful to not go too far in this direction. Tottenham fans expect a level of entertainment from their side, this is why Ange Postecoglu was tolerated for so long by the fan base despite a string of terrible domestic results. Frank could see his attack go really stale if he focuses too much on the defensive side of the game, but I think they’ll be forced to come out here.

Brighton netted three goals against Tottenham in this fixture last season and scored 30 goals across their 19 home games last season, losing just three of these fixtures. They did concede 26 goals across these games so there should be plenty of opportunity for Tottenham to find the back of the net here, though I do think Brighton will be able to breach their slightly fatigued backline.

This match also has a strong history of both teams scoring, with this selection landing in each of the last five head-to-head clashes.
