Brighton hosts Tottenham at the American Express Stadium in Round 5 of the 2025/26 Premier League season on Saturday, 20 September 2025.
Coming into this match, Brighton had won only one of their four matches. Their only win was at home against English powerhouse Manchester City. Tottenham is well aware of the threat Brighton poses when playing at home.

Brajan Gruda is one of the key players for Brighton. The German right winger has played four matches and scored one goal in the Premier League this season. He has also scored and assisted in the ongoing EFL Cup.
He’s one of the creative players at Brighton. Stats show that he produced four assists and scored one goal in the 21 league matches he played last season.
Brennan Johnson is Tottenham’s main man. The year-old forward has already scored two goals in four Premier League matches this season. In the previous season, Johnson netted 11 goals and secured three assists in 33 matches for Tottenham.
