Tottenham will be looking to strengthen their top-four position when they host Brighton in the Premier League on Tuesday, live on Sky Sports.
Spurs were beaten 1-0 by Manchester City on Saturday, just a few days after knocking City out of the Champions League in dramatic fashion.
However, with Arsenal and Manchester United also losing over the weekend, Spurs remain third in the table, although they could slip down if Chelsea beat Burnley on Monday Night Football.
0:46 Brighton drew 0-0 at Wolves on Saturday to give their survival hopes a boost.
The Seagulls are three points above 17th-placed Cardiff, who lost against Liverpool, and manager Chris Hughton wants his side to secure their top-flight status as soon as possible.
“We’re a team of our level playing in the Premier League and, up until probably the last month or so, we’ve been in a decent enough position in the league,” he said.

“Probably our poorest period came at the worst time, but that happens when you’re playing in a division as difficult as this one and when you are the level of club that we are.
“We have to find formulas and pull out results to get the points that we need.”
