Everything is lined up on the south shore; two tactical geniuses get ready for what should be an exciting duel with three points as the ultimate prize.
Jack Hinshelwood
The sheer volume of right back injuries in Brighton’s roster has given 18-year-old Jack Hinshelwood an opportunity to shine recently. Roberto De Zerbi has given the England under-19 international a start in seven of the last eight games across all competitions, demonstrating his ability to impress.
The dynamic young player will face South Korea‘s captain, Heung-min Son of Tottenham, in what promises to be his hardest test to date.
In the last five games, the winger has contributed directly to six goals (3G, 3A), with two of the three assists coming from low byline crosses into the danger zone. The threat posed by the form Son will require Hinshelwood, who was not dribbled past once against Crystal Palace, to once again play at his best defensive position.
The newest member of Albion’s academy can impact this game not just in defence. He scored the game-winning goal in Brighton’s 2-1 victory against Brentford at The AMEX earlier this month. Last week, he had a great chance to score in the A23 Derby, but he missed it. He should line up ahead of Facundo Buonanotte; if the two can work well together on the wing, Destiny Udogie may be in trouble.
Richarlison
The Brazilian is currently the most productive player in the division and exudes confidence.
The former Everton attacker was used on Tottenham’s wings earlier in the season, but he mainly struggled to make an impression. At one point, he even fell behind the now-injured Manor Solomon in the pecking order.
Since his injured comeback at the beginning of the month, Ange Postecoglou has used him in the middle of Tottenham’s attacking three, and the attacker has returned his coach’ faith in him.
The Brazilian has scored four goals in his previous three games, which is a significant improvement over his two goals in his first thirty-nine Premier League games while wearing Spurs jerseys.
You would think that Richarlison would be in the forefront of the problems produced in Brighton’s defence, who have lost twenty-two league games in a row, a club record, if Tottenham are to come away from this seaside visit with all three points.
This is truly the ideal chance for him to keep adding to his total and lead his injured team to three points.
