The eighth match on a busy Saturday of Premier League action sees Brighton and Hove Albion take on Tottenham Hotspur, with kick-off at the Amex at 17:30 BST.

Mauricio Pochettino has made two changes to the side that lost to Liverpool in Gameweek 5, with Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.5m) and Son Heung-min (£8.3m) replacing the injured Michel Vorm (£4.9m) and the benched Harry Winks (£5.5m).

The club reported that Vorm sustained a knee injury in training on Friday.

That means Kieran Trippier (£6.0m), Toby Alderweireld (£5.9m), Danny Rose (£5.9m) and Lucas Moura (£7.4m) have been recalled to the Spurs line-up after missing out (for various reasons) on a start in the UEFA Champions League defeat to Inter in midweek.

Dele Alli (£9.0m) is fit enough for a place on the visitors’ bench, meanwhile.

Brighton’s starting XI is unchanged from the team began the 2-2 draw with Southampton on Monday night, with Pascal Gross (£6.8m) missing out with an ankle injury.

Florin Andone (£5.0m) is among the substitutes for the first time this season having built up his match fitness over the last fortnight.

Harry Kane (£12.4m), still owned by around one in four Fantasy Premier League managers, leads the line for the Lilywhites. The England striker is only averaging a chance every 44.8 minutes in away league matches this season.

Glenn Murray (£6.5m) had the best goal conversion rate of all Premier League strikers going into Gameweek 6, having scored with four of his nine shots.

No FPL midfielder has registered more assists than Anthony Knockaert (£5.5m) this season.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Montoya, Duffy, Dunk, Bong; Stephens, Bissouma, March, Propper, Knockaert; Murray

Spurs XI: Gazzaniga; Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Dier, Dembele; Eriksen, Lucas, Son; Kane

        1. TaiwanHC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

            • 14 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Still is is right. Might take a hit for Mendy and Pereira to Trippier and Shaw.

          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          1. Red Dagger ✪
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Yes do it. It's a good move.

      4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        No.Trippier won't play next 2.Will miss out on one.But long term if u have a good bench great option

        1. TaiwanHC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          1. Shah G
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Aww just saw they play Barca next in UCL, might play that then get benched for CAR.. Still gonna risk it with 5 decent defs..

      5. Shah G
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        That was the plan but his assist will force an early transfer tonight..

      6. Mortiis
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Just be prepared for him to be rotated

    6. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

    10. Egg noodle
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'm going to do this tonight for -8
      Zaha > Lacazette
      Firmino > Aguero
      Moura > Richarlison
      Mendy > Doherty

      Likey or No Likey?

      1. Lemongrab
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Unless you're going to get priced out hold fire with Lacazette and Rich playing tomorrow

        1. Egg noodle
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Ok thank you. No rush really except my itchy fingers

      2. PrettyDick
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        wait until after Everton's game at least?

      3. datamunkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        A) No
        B) Yes
        C) Maybe
        D) Wait

        Can’t be ars3d to do the math but generally answer is no, knee jerky

      4. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Noooooo

      5. My Name Is Pepu
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I'd keep Zaha and bring Kane instead of Aguero.

        You can do that for a minus 4 instead of minus 8.

    11. TeddiPonza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      When hou realize you chose Smalling over Trippier.......

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Same.Chilwell.And he bossed the baps as well.Would have got a nice haul if he got an assist or cleann

      2. PrettyDick
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        you didn't have to have "you realize" in there.. 😉

      3. Pinturicchio10
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah me too. Had to, though, as needed funds for next weeks trade. Not to worry can't get it right every time.

      4. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Delighted to get some points from Kane at last! But this game has been hard to watch, might switch to that dancing show

        1. PrettyDick
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Congrats. He's been invisible, but maybe that's what he (and spurs) needed

          1. HamezMace
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Spurs look tired, no pace, speed in the game, Brighton happy to let them have the ball, and Spurs happy to just knock in around in their own half

      5. Hect.OR 98th
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Not sure whether it's worth WC'ing this squad. I've got some injuries and players to consider shifting but not sure the fixtures warrant an overhaul just yet?

        Foster Hamer*
        Mendy* Robertson Alonso AWB Cedric*
        Hazard Mane* BSilva Walcott* Stephens*
        Arnie* Aguero Mitrovic

        1. PrettyDick
