Premier League Gameweek 24 is set to be underway

In what could be an action-packed affair on Saturday afternoon, Tottenham will welcome Brighton to north London. Spurs suffered last-gasp heartbreak away at Everton as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 draw last weekend, Tottenham will be desperate to claim an immediate response here. Missing out on what they had billed as a golden opportunity at Goodison Park, Spurs will certainly be excited to make a return to north London on Saturday. Spurs will be hoping to extend on their recent success on home soil.

Brighton storming their way to a 4-1 romp against historic rivals Crystal Palace, Roberto De Zerbi’s men are now hoping to secure back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since the start of September. Claiming an action-packed 4-2 victory when they welcomed Tottenham to the Amex over the festive period, De Zerbi will be calling on a repeat performance this weekend. It will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Players to Watch

Richarlison (Tottenham Hotspur)

Richarlison is a rare breed of attacker in the sense that he can play in multiple positions in the attack at an alarmingly good level. Richarlison is a player that always has an eye for goal. With his goalscoring taking a hit, Richarlison made a step up in his creative game as well. Perhaps Richarlison’s greatest attribute is his defensive work. He epitomizes what is required from a modern-day forward and his output on the defensive end is a crucial part.

João Pedro (Brighton)

He will try to cut off passing lanes when the opposition defenders are looking to play forwards and will often press them when they move onto their weaker foot. João Pedro is a pacey player, so when space is afforded to him he will sit on the shoulder of the last defender and look for the ball in behind. In the box, João Pedro makes good runs to get into dangerous areas.
