Match Overview for Tottenham against Brighton
Tottenham will end his season of roller coaster in the Premier League on Sunday, freshly out of his victory for the victory of the Europa League, when they welcome Brighton in northern London.
Supporters of the Spurs have been hungry for silverware for 17 years, but Brennan Johnson’s efforts in Bilbao have sealed a memorable victory over Manchester United.
The victory overshadowed a disappointing league campaign which could still end with a historic end of the 17th.
But with a European trophy in the bag and football in the Champions League obtained for next season, the fans will be in full party mode in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
For Manager Ange Postcoglou, there is a chance that it could be his last match at the helm, but he will leave to have accomplished something that even Jose Mourinho, Antonio Conte and Mauricio Pochettino did not manage to do in the north of London.
Meanwhile, Brighton still has living European hopes – but with a thin chance of qualifying the conference league.
Sitting eighth and three points away from Brentford, a point cement this eighth place. However, for Seagulls to go to the conference League, they will need a perfect storm of other results elsewhere, notably Chelsea finishing seventh or Newcastle being seventh and winning the final of the conference league.

Team news for Tottenham against Brighton
Tottenham’s only drawback of European glory was Richarlison’s view of the second period.
Although his injury did not prevent him from celebrating the post-match, he should miss the final on Sunday, joining Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin, Dane Scarlett, James Maddison, Timo Werner and Lucas Bergvall on the sidelines.
Postcoglou is likely to turn strongly after the final, PostCoglou also confirming both Cristian Romero and Heung-Min Son will both be rested, as well as Yves Bissouma after having taken a hit.
Brighton’s preparations were overshadowed by the absence of Joao Pedro following a training incident with Jan Paul Van Hecke.
The Seagulls will also miss Georginio Rutter (foot), James Milner (thigh), Ferdi Kadioglu (toe), Solly March (knee), while Tariq Lamptey (knee) and Jason Steele (finger) are doubtful.
