Tottenham Insights.

Tottenham Hotspur were handed their first loss in 11 competitive matches on Thursday night (W8, D2, L1). That game was also the first in which they conceded a goal before the 30th minute across their previous four fixtures. Although little consolation for José Mourinho, that fixture was the third in succession in which they registered 2+ first-half corners too. Undefeated in each of their previous four Premier League (PL) matches played on a Sunday, and scoring 3+ goals in three of these fixtures, Spurs remain in impressive form in the PL They’ve lost just one fixture in the competition so far (W3, D2, L1) and have scored seven goals before the 31st minute across their previous four PL matches.

Brighton Insights.

Brighton and Hove Albion are in the midst of their joint-worst start to a PL season after managing just one win so far (W1, D2, L3). That said, they have faced the lowest average number of shots per game so far this season (7.3), suggesting that an improved defensive record may be on the horizon. What hasn’t helped their defensive record is giving away penalties. The ‘Seagulls’ have conceded three goals already from the penalty spot this season. Since the start of the 2017/18 season, only Arsenal (19) and Watford (18) have conceded more league goals from penalties.
