Brighton come into the match on the back of a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace in the Premier League last time out.
It was the Eagles who opened the scoring on the stroke of half time to lead at the interval.
The second half was just as close as the first period and Brighton scored the equaliser in the 82nd minute to take a point.
The draw at Crystal Palace means Brighton are undefeated in 4 of their 5 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
There have been wins over Brentford at home in the Premier League and Marseille at home in the Europa League.
Brighton were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Burnley in the Premier League and lost 2-0 at Arsenal, also in the league.
Trends show Brighton have achieved just 2 wins in their last 12 Premier League games.
They are undefeated in each of their last 7 home Premier League matches but hTave won only 1 of their 5 most recent Premier League fixtures on home soil.
Spurs make the trip to the American Express Community Stadium having beat Everton 2-1 at home in the Premier League last weekend.
It took only 9 minutes for Spurs to open the scoring and they added a second in the 18th minute to take early control of the game.
Everton pulled a goal back in the 82nd minute but it was too late to change the outcome of the match.
The win over Everton means Spurs are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 games and have won each of their last 3 fixtures, all of which were played in the Premier League.
In addition to the win over Everton, Spurs have beat Newcastle United at home and Nottingham Forest away.
Trends show Spurs have not been beaten in 10 of their 11 most recent away matches in all competitions.
They are undefeated in 9 of their last 10 away Premier League games and have scored 2 or more goals in 3 of their last 4 league fixtures on the road.
Team news: Brighton have several players in the treatment room including Joel Veltman, Tariq Lamptey, Ansu Fati, Pervis Estupiñán, and Julio Enciso.
They also have doubts over the fitness of Kaoru Mitoma, Adam Webster, and Solly March.
Spurs are without suspended midfielder Yves Bissouma. Rodrigo Bentancur, James Maddison, Micky van de Ven, and Ivan Perisic are all injured while Richarlison is a doubt due to a back problem.
Spurs have picked up in recent weeks and could cause Brighton a lot of problems in this match.
We expect to see both teams playing attacking football but Spurs to have the edge, scoring the only goals of the game to come away with a 2-0 victory.
