Ladbrokes previews Tottenham vs Brighton in the Premier League
Danny Welbeck is tipped to net against Spurs with Joao Palhinha picking up a booking
Over 1.5 goals scored are tipped in our bet builder with a Brighton win or draw tipped in a double chance

Tottenham have a must-win game in their desperate battle to avoid relegation as they host Brighton on Saturday evening in the Premier League.
Roberto De Zerbi faces his former side in just his second game in charge of Spurs, with last week's 1-0 defeat at Sunderland placing them inside the bottom three after all three of their rivals West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Leeds picked up points.
They are now the bookies' favourites to join Burnley and Wolves in the Championship for what would be their first relegation since 1977, so De Zerbi will be under no illusions how desperately the North Londoners need to find their first win of 2026 against the Seagulls.

Danny Welbeck has had some calling for a surprise return to the England squad for the 35-year-old after netting 13 times in all competitions for Brighton this season.
The striker is showing no signs of slowing down and remains the focal point up top for the Seagulls. With Fabian Hurzeler's men suddenly back in European contention after climbing to ninth, we're backing the ex-Arsenal man to strike another dagger through Spurs' hearts.
A lack of discipline has been a common theme during Spurs' miserable season and while Cristian Romero and Mickey van de Ven have been worse perpetrators, Joao Palhinha is never too far away from a booking with six to his name in the Premier League and a further four across all competitions.
The hosts will be looking to spark some energy amongst the crowd in such an important game and that could see Palhinha overstep the mark in the centre of the park, so he is the man we're tipping in the cards market.
Spurs have averaged 2.8 total goals across their league games this season, with Brighton slightly lower at 2.5, so we think an over 1.5 goals shout feels more than reasonable.
Spurs in particular need to play on the front foot, which we think they'll do given De Zerbi has had more time to implement his attacking style on his players and it could well open up space for a few goals to be scored at either end.
We think Spurs' misery won't show any signs of clearing up on Saturday evening, with a double chance bet of a Brighton win or draw our final pick.
We keep waiting for the North Londoners to get the string of positive results they need to get out of danger but it has yet to come, with their form worse than any other side's. Brighton may seem a relatively winnable game, but Hurzeler's men are actually top of the form table as it stands after winning five of their last six. As a result, it's hard to see anything other than more dropped points for Spurs in this game.
