Tottenham Hosts Brighton in Premier League Season Finale

Tottenham, England – Tottenham Hotspur confirmed their starting line-ups for the final Premier League match of the season against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday, May 25, 2025. Kick-off is set for 4 PM. After celebrating their recent UEFA Europa League victory, Spurs are eager to finish the domestic season on a high note.

Manager Ange Postecoglou has made three changes to the starting eleven from the Europa League final against Manchester United. Kevin Danso replaces the injured Cristian Romero in defense. Archie Gray enters the midfield for Yves Bissouma, who returns to the bench after recovering from a knock, and Mathys Tel replaces Richarlison in attack.

Without captain Heung-Min Son, who is sidelined due to injury, goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario will lead the team onto the field. The official line-up consists of Vicario (c), Pedro Porro, Danso, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie; Rodrigo Bentancur, Gray, Pape Matar Sarr; Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke, and Tel. The substitutes include Kinsky, Spence, Davies, Bissouma, Olusesi, Ajayi, Moore, Odobert, and Richarlison.

This match holds significance for Brighton as well. Currently, they sit just outside the European qualification spots but can secure eighth place with at least a draw. Brighton’s recent 3-2 victory over Liverpool has placed them in a favorable position, pushing for a Conference League spot, depending on Chelsea’s performance against their opponents in the upcoming final.

Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler has confirmed that João Pedro will miss the game due to a minor training issue, while Georginio Rutter and other key players will also be absent. Hürzeler emphasized the importance of maintaining team principles and values, even amidst injuries.

In the absence of Pedro, Brighton will rely on Kaoru Mitoma and Jack Hinshelwood to lead their attack. The predicted line-up for Brighton is Verbruggen; Wieffer, Van Hecke, Webster, Estupiñan; Baleba, Ayari; Minteh, Gruda, Mitoma; and Welbeck.

As Spurs fans celebrate the Europa League triumph, the outcome of this match may not hold the same weight, but Postecoglou seeks to end the season positively, despite earlier criticisms of their league performance.
