The match officials for Tottenham Hotspur’s clash with Brighton and Hove Albion have been confirmed, and Spurs may just fancy their chances.
Tottenham Hotspur are set to return to Premier League action once again this weekend, with a clash against Brighton and Hove Albion next on the agenda.
This is far from an easy outing, as Brighton are currently the second most in-form side in the league based on results from their last five outings.
A run of three consecutive wins and 12 points from a possible 15 puts the Seagulls in pole position to pile on the misery of Spurs, who, by contrast, are the worst side in the league this year.
New boss Roberto De Zerbi will, however, be hoping that his home debut provides some spark for his Tottenham side, who fell short in his first Premier League game as Spurs boss.

Tottenham vs Brighton referee Stuart Attwell confirmed for Premier League clash
Sunderland beat Tottenham 1-0 at the Stadium of Light, a defeat that sent Spurs down to the relegation places with six games to go.
The Tottenham fans will surely look to spur their side on at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with hopes that it can spark an upturn in the north London club’s form.

Spurs record under Stuart Attwell offers hope before Brighton test
Spurs have barely had any luck in the league this season, but they will be hoping to find some when they take to the pitch against Brighton.
Tottenham’s record in games under Stuart Attwell, however, could provide some solace ahead of this weekend’s encounter.
Interestingly, Spurs have managed 16 wins from the 25 games he has officiated, drawing four and losing five. He has never sent a player off, while he has awarded Tottenham one spot kick.
Brighton’s record under the match official is also rather good. The Seagulls have not won as many games as Spurs in matches officiated by Attwell, winning 13, drawing seven and losing 10.
However, in terms of spot kicks, the Seagulls have had some luck under the referee, who has awarded them seven, although he has sent off three Brighton players in the 30 games he has officiated.
