Brighton did the double over Tottenham last season, meaning they've won three of their last four meetings with Spurs, despite having only claimed victory from three of their 15 previous encounters.
Tottenham are seeking to avoid three successive defeats in Sussex for the first time in 47 years.
Brighton vs Tottenham preview
Can Tottenham continue their near-flawless start to the season? On Tuesday night, Spurs marked their Champions League return by beating Villarreal 1-0 in North London; a freak own goal in the fourth minute separating the two sides. This came after they demolished West Ham United 3-0 last weekend, thanks to three goals during a 17 minute second half scoring spree in Stratford; Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall and Micky van de Ven the scorers.
Overall, Thomas Frank's team have won three out of four league games to date, a surprise 1-0 reverse at the hands of Bournemouth the only blot on their copy book. Under Ange Postecoglou, Spurs lost both visits to Brighton, 2-0 up at the Amex when they last visited 11 months ago, only to capitulate and lose 3-2. Thus, this'll be a good test as we seek to discover how much Spurs have improved.
As for Brighton & Hove Albion, their campaign is yet to spark into life. Last weekend, the Seagulls were defeated 2-1 by South Coast rivals Bournemouth, with Kaoru Mitoma equalising shortly after half time, only for the Cherries to win it from the penalty spot soon after.
Fabian Hürzeler's team did come from behind to beat Manchester City 2-1 before the international break, but that remains the Albion's sole victory of the campaign so far, struggling for consistency, as they did last season. So, could a visit from Tottenham see Brighton get back to winning ways?

Brighton team news
Fabian Hürzeler was forced to replace both Maxim De Cuyper and Jack Hinshelwood during the first half at Bournemouth, making them both doubts, while Adam Webster is sidelined.
Elsewhere, Carlos Baleba will return to midfield, rested at Dean Court following his international exploits, while the front four could be unchanged, with match-winner against Manchester City Brajan Gruda therefore once again among the substitutes.
Brighton & Hove Albion predicted lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur: (4-3-3): Verbruggen; Veltman, Dunk, van Hecke, De Cuyper; Baleba, Ayari, Georginio; Minteh, Mitoma, Welbeck.
Brighton player to watch vs Tottenham
Danny Welbeck has only ever scored three goals in 25 meetings with Tottenham, these goals coming in 2011 and 2014 for Manchester United, as well as last October, so will he be the Brighton hero?
Tottenham team news
Mathys Tel led the line at West Ham last Saturday, but then was not involved at all in mid-week against Villarreal, given that he was controversially left out of Spurs' Champions League squad.
Here, Richarlison is set to start up front again, meaning Randal Kolo Muani's wait for a full-debut goes on. João Palhinha could come in at the base of midfield but, if he does, it'll be interesting to see who drops out. Radu Drăgușin, Yves Bissouma, James Maddison, Dejan Kuluševski and Dominic Solanke all remain sidelined.
Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Brighton & Hove Albion: (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, van de Ven, Romero, Spence; Palhinha, Matar Sarr, Bergvall; Kudus, Simons, Richarlison.
Tottenham player to watch vs Brighton
Mohammed Kudus has scored during both previous meetings with Brighton, so can he maintain that perfect record by the South Coast on Saturday?
Brighton vs Tottenham prediction
This should be an entertaining, high-scoring fixture, but we give the edge to Spurs, given that they've made an exponentially better start to the season so far: Brighton & Hove Albion 1-2 Tottenham.
