Tottenham Hotspur have lost 26 games in all competitions this season, their most in a single campaign in the club’s history.
Only in 2022-23 have Brighton finished with more points (62) and in a higher position (6th) in a top-flight campaign than in 2024-25 (61 points and 8th place finish), while only four sides won more points in the Premier League in 2025 than their 34.
Tottenham have suffered 22 losses in a league season for only the second time after 1934-35, while it’s just the second time they’ve lost 10 home league games in a season after 1991-92 (11).
Tottenham have won seven of their last eight home league games against Brighton, with the exception being a 1-0 loss in April 2022.
Brighton came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 in the reverse fixture against Tottenham in October – they’ve never won consecutive league games against Spurs before.
Tottenham Hotspur have lost 21 league games this season, their most in a campaign since 1976-77 (also 21); only once have they lost 22 games in a campaign, doing so in 1934-35 when they finished bottom of the top-flight. Should they lose this game, they will be the first side in top-flight history to lose 22 games in a 38-game season and not be relegated.
Tottenham have only lost their final league game in one of the last 14 seasons (W11 D2), winning the last four by an aggregate score of 16-3. Their only defeat in this run was at Newcastle in 2015-16 (1-5).
Brighton have lost their final league game in five of their seven Premier League campaigns, with the exceptions coming in 2019-20 (2-1 at Burnley) and 2021-22 (3-1 v West Ham).
