Tottenham hope to move a step closer to ending their 14-year wait for silverware in Saturday’s fourth-round FA Cup clash against Brighton.

Inconsistency has dogged the home side of late. Spurs have won and lost three of their last six games in all competitions, but they will hope to stamp that run of form out of their system in their first match back from the winter break.

Brighton, though, are no pushovers. The Seagulls head to north London on a seven-match unbeaten run. Interestedly, all of their last three games ended with a 1-1 scoreline.
