Prediction: 2-1
Brighton
All eyes will be on Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when Tottenham and Brighton go head to head in the FA Cup last 32. Spurs failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Chelsea, with the team dropping to seventh place in the standings. Tottenham’s main goal is to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League, but that is easier said than done. Antonio Conte’s men have big ambitions for the FA Cup as well, and seeing that Heung-Min Son should recover in time to face Brighton, home win should be considered.
The Italian tactician can count on key players for the FA Cup game. The Seagulls, on the other hand, will be without Shane Duffy, Enoch Mwepu, and Jeremy Sarmiento in Saturday’s clash, while important midfielder Yves Bissouma is back from international duty. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Spurs are eager to make amends for the heart-breaking Stamford Bridge defeat.
Highlighted Player (Heung-min Son):
Over the years Son Heung-Min has established himself as one of the best Asian footballers. Son is a Tottenham Hotspur first-team regular and he played a very important role in Mauro Pochettino’s team in the 2017/2018 Premier League campaign, scoring 12 goals, while making 37 appearances in the process.
The South Korean footballer, who is well known for his speed and a very powerful shot, was born in Chuncheo on 8 July 1992 and he began his youth career at FC Seoul. In 2008 he moved to Hamburger SV, but he made his senior debut for the Bundesliga club two years later. In 2013 he signed a deal with fellow German side Bayer Leverkusen and he scored 21 goals in 62 appearances in the Bundesliga for the BayArena outfit.
In 2015 he signed a five-year contract with Spurs for a fee of £22 million. Son Heung-min made his South Korea debut in a friendly against Syria in 2010.
Highlighted Team (Brighton):
Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club were formed in 1901. The Seagulls welcome their opponents at Falmer Stadium and the capacity of Brighton’s home ground is 30,750. The stadium was built in 2008 and it was opened in 2011. The venue is known for commercial purposes as American Express Community Stadium.
Brighton & Hove Albion compete in the Premier League and they play in blue and white stripes. The colour of Brighton’s away kit is green. The club made it to the FA Cup final in 1983, but English giants Manchester United proved to be a big catch for the Red Devils.
Brighton’s main rivals are Crystal Palace and the Seagulls have recorded 35 wins over the Eagles. Frank Stapleton, Martin Chivers, Joe Corrigan, Bobby Zamora, Mark Lawrenson, Bobby Smith, John Crumplin and Frank Worthington are notable footballers who played for Brighton in the past. The Albion is Preston’s yet another nickname.
