Ange Postecoglou’s team didn’t look like themselves at the end of the fall, losing four matches in the championship and significantly worsening their standings. Fortunately, the “Spurs” soon managed to deal with the problems and had an excellent stretch. After defeating Brentford, Tottenham briefly entered the top four, but their stay there was short-lived. In the last round, Ange Postecoglou’s team visited Liverpool, where they drew with Everton (2-2), allowing Aston Villa to surpass them and take the fourth spot. In their home games, Tottenham has won the last four Premier League matches, but they suffered a loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup, conceding the decisive goal two minutes before the end of the match.
Roberto De Zerbi’s team has been struggling lately. Draws with West Ham and Wolverhampton, followed by a shameful defeat to the relegation-fighting Luton with a score of 4-0. It’s worth noting that in none of these mentioned matches, Brighton scored a goal, despite De Zerbi always emphasizing attacking football. However, over the past weekend, the “Seagulls” made a strong comeback, scoring four goals against Crystal Palace (4-1), three of which came in the first half. This result allowed Brighton to maintain the eighth position in the standings. It’s important to mention that Brighton hasn’t won an away game since late November when they defeated Nottingham.
