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

      Hate this game

    • Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Knockaert returns this season

      2,5,2,6,4,7(pre baps)

      1. Maddi Son
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Pascal or Knockaert is the question. (After City game)

        1. Forza Papac
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Knockaert surely better value for money. Fixtures are great after City

          1. Maddi Son
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah I'd agree better value but who looks most likely to score more points? It's a toughy

            1. Maddi Son
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Ignore me, Knockaert is definitely the better pick. Didn't know Groß had such low minutes when he wasn't injured.

      2. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Have talked him up a bit last couple of days. Quite the differential and great fixtures from gw8.
