Another huge Premier League clash awaits Tottenham this weekend as they bid to haul themselves out of the bottom three. Spurs are currently two points from safety after a damaging weekend of last, and they face another big test this weekend.
Spurs take on Brighton at home, and a Brighton side involved in an ultra-tight scrap for the final European spot, no less. The clash will see Roberto De Zerbi go up against his former club, and he will know the difficulty of the task that awaits him and his team.
But Spurs are quickly running out of games, and with a tough-looking run-in, they are going to have to pull off a few big results if they want to avoid playing Championship football next season. Ahead of this one, we have rounded up the latest injury news surrounding both teams.
Stefanos Tzimas - Out
Tzimas is out for the season with a knee injury and he is likely to return some time in September.
Adam Webster - Out
Webster is out for the season with a knee injury he suffered back in the summer. He will return in pre-season.
Lewis Dunk - Out (Suspended)
Dunk has accumulated 10 yellow cards and he will be suspended for this game.
James Milner - Fit
Milner's injury was described as 'very minor' and he should be available here.
Wilson Odobert - Out
Odobert is out for the season, having suffered a serious knee injury. He will be targeting a return some time next winter.
Dejan Kulusevski - Out
De Zerbi has said there is no further news on Kulusevski amid his long-term layoff. It's looking increasingly likely that the Sweden international will be out all season.
Cristian Romero - Out
Romero is expected to be out for the season with a knee injury he picked up last time out. The Spurs skipper looked distraught when he left the pitch.
James Maddison - Out
After his serious knee injury at the back-end of pre-season, Maddison is hoping to make it back for the last game or two, but he does face a race against time to get back.
Rodrigo Bentancur - Out
Bentancur is recovering from surgery and is likely to be back early next month.
Ben Davies - Out
Davies will be out for another week or two as he nears his return from ankle surgery.
Guglielmo Vicario - Doubt
Vicario could well be back for this one, but his return has not been confirmed at time of writing.
Mohammed Kudus - Out
Kudus remains out as he looks to return from a hamstring issue. De Zerbi said last week: "He had returned to team training during the past week. However, he will now require further specialist review and, potentially, surgery. We will provide any relevant further updates in due course."
