Tottenham discover referee and VAR for Brighton clash in the Premier League

1 day ago 25

Tottenham Hotspur will travel to the Amex Stadium to take on Brighton this weekend, and the Premier League has now confirmed the match officials who will oversee the clash.

Thomas Frank would be hoping to keep some momentum going this weekend, when Tottenham Hotspur travel to the Amex Stadium to take on Brighton and Hove Albion.

Since their poor display in matchweek three, where they lost to Bournemouth at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs have bounced back, securing two wins in their last two outings, including a victory in the Champions League against Villarreal.

However, their next clash would be anything but straightforward, as Frank’s side comes up against Fabian Hurzeler’s Brighton, a side that did the double over Postecoglou’s Tottenham last season, including a 4-1 victory over Spurs on the final day of last season.

Tottenham vs Brighton match officials confirmed

Ahead of the weekend’s fixtures, details regarding the match officials for the Tottenham versus Brighton fixture set to take place this weekend have now been confirmed on the Premier League website.

It is understood that Chris Kavanagh is set to be the main referee for this fixture, with Dan Cook and Ian Hussin as assistants.

In the fourth official role, Tom Nield is set to take charge, while for VAR, it will be Neil Davies, with Rob Jones serving as the assistant VAR.

Thomas Frank has managed three wins in his opening four league fixtures, and he would be hoping for four in five this weekend.

Spurs aim to keep pace at the top

There have been a few controversial decisions in the Premier League already this season, where referees have come under scrutiny, but Tottenham have yet to be involved in any.

Thomas Frank and his side would be hoping for more of the same this weekend, as Spurs look to keep pace with the pacesetters this season, with the team currently sitting in third place.

The fixture between Tottenham and Brighton is not expected to be broadcast live on TV, meaning fans who want to watch Spurs in action will have to make the trip to the Amex Stadium.
