Brighton and Hove Albion - who have lost their last five Premier League matches - will be without their experienced midfielder Adam Lallana for Wednesday night's visit of Tottenham.
Lallana, 33, has been struggling with a hamstring problem of late and his return against title-chasing Liverpool last Saturday lasted just eight minutes.

It's been a hugely frustrating time for Lallana and the club and he now looks set to miss out against Antonio Conte's Tottenham, who remain in the chase for a top four position.
Potter said: "We are waiting for a scan result, he is testing okay so not too bad. But obviously until we get the scan we will not know the full extent. It seems like it will be a minor problem."

"It is a case of getting the analysis now and getting that diagnosed properly. Maybe [Liverpool] was a little bit too soon but something we will have to think about."
