Tottenham Hotspur will look to make it five Premier League home wins in a row as they host Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
Tottenham blew the lead twice to eventually settle for a 2-2 draw with Everton last weekend. After former Everton man Richarlison gave the Lilywhites the advantage as early as the fourth minute of the game, Goodison Park sprang back to life with Jack Harrison's equalizer at the half-hour mark.
Richarlison restored Spurs' lead just 11 minutes later. But Everton snatched a point from the jaws of defeat as Jarrad Branthwaite pounced on a Cristian Romero error to nod the ball into the back of the net in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage-time.
While their record at home has been impressive, Ange Postecoglou's men haven't been all that convincing of late, securing just one win in their last four matches across all competitions.
Having conceded seven goals in their last four Premier League matches, the manager must find a way to plug the leak at the back to ensure they stay hot on Aston Villa's trail.
Their Saturday opponents Brighton had a memorable outing last weekend, beating Crystal Palace 4-1 at the AMEX. Lewis Dunk, Jack Hinselwood, Facundo Buonanotte and Joao Pedro got on the scoresheet for the Seagulls while Jean-Philippe Mateta secured a consolation goal for Palace.
It was a strong response from Brighton after the 4-0 pummelling they suffered at the hands of Luton Town at Kenilworth Road the previous weekend. Brighton are currently eighth in the Premier League table and will need to sort out their patchy form if they are eyeing one of the European berths.
