Coach Roberto De Zerbi is expected to help Tottenham Hotspur find their way back and escape the relegation zone. However, reality is happening in the opposite direction when his start in North London was quite bleak.
In the 0-1 defeat to Sunderland, captain Cristian Romero suffered a knee injury and will be out for the rest of the season. This is also Spurs' 16th defeat in the Premier League this season, coming from a situation where the ball changed direction after Nordi Mukiele's shot.
Although the playing style shows signs of improvement, those positive signals are still not enough to bring points for Tottenham. The team is still struggling in the relegation battle, 2 points behind the safe group when the season is only 6 rounds away.
In the opposite direction, Brighton is showing impressive form. "The Seagulls" have won all 9 points in the last 3 rounds - a number far exceeding Tottenham's home record since the beginning of the season.
Since being eliminated from the FA Cup by Liverpool, Brighton has won 5 and only lost 1 in the last 6 matches. With 15 points won in this period, they are the team with the best form in the league.
Currently only 2 points behind Chelsea in the top 6 race, Brighton - currently ranked 9th - is also aiming for a historic milestone with 4 consecutive away wins in the Premier League. This goal is completely feasible as they once defeated Tottenham 4-1 right on their opponent's field last season.
