Your support makes all the difference.Tottenham are waiting on late fitness tests to prove the fitness of Hugo Lloris, Erik Lamela and Harry Winks ahead of what promises to be an intense clash with struggling Brighton and Hove Albion.
The Seagulls are fighting for their life at the bottom of the Premier League after an impressive first half of the season melted away into a deeply alarming spring collapse.
Albion are just three points clear of the drop zone and need anything they can get against Champions League-chasing Spurs.
Tottenham can't afford to let up, though, not even with a Champions League semi-final against Ajax on the horizon.
They will check on the fitness of Spurs captain Lloris after he missed Saturday's defeat at Manchester City with a slight muscle problem.
Lamela (hamstring) and Winks (groin) will also be assessed ahead of kick-off, with Lloris currently considered the most likely to return to the starting XI.
Moussa Sissoko (groin) is out for two weeks and joins Harry Kane (ankle) in the treatment room.
Brighton need points to hold off Cardiff's resurgence in the relegation battle, with former Spurs assistant Chris Hughton facing an uncertain future after four consecutive defeats.
Provisional squad: Lloris, Gazzaniga, Vorm, Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Sanchez, Rose, Walker-Peters, Foyth, Moura, Wanyama, Skipp, Eriksen, Alli, Son, Llorente, Janssen.
