da prosport bet： Tottenham Hotspur face Brighton & Hove Albion on Boxing Day after a dismal defeat to Chelsea in north London.
da betway： Manager Jose Mourinho named an unchanged side against the Blues, keeping faith in the team that beat Wolves 2-1.
However, they were disorganised and outplayed by Frank Lampard’s side, who were 2-0 up at half-time thanks to a Willian brace.

It makes sense for Mourinho to consider changes against the Seagulls, then, with one enforced.
Son Heung-Min was sent off for appearing to lash out at Antonio Rudiger and he will be suspended, while some others could well be dropped.
Football FanCast takes a look at the XI Mourinho should select…
Paulo Gazzaniga conceded a penalty with a crazy tackle on Marcos Alonso but there isn’t really anyone else and he will have to play.
Davinson Sanchez played well at centre-back and Toby Alderweireld is Mr. Consistency so they should stay together in the heart of the defence.
Jan Vertonghen, though, has endured two difficult games in succession at left-back – he struggled against Adama Traore as Spurs beat Wolves – and restoring Danny Rose, a player who would give the side some natural width, makes sense, while Serge Aurier should also be dropped.
He did not need to concede the corner kick that led to Chelsea’s first goal and was then too slow to tackle Willian; bringing in Kyle Walker-Peters, so rarely seen in the starting XI, and allowing him to stake a claim would be the right thing to do.
Mourinho’s produced some incredible footballing stars – how much do you know about them?
Moussa Sissoko, like Sanchez, emerged from the game with some credit but his midfield partner, Eric Dier, was hooked at half-time. Partnering France international Tanguy Ndombele with his compatriot in midfield would add some dynamism.
Further forward, Ryan Sessegnon is the obvious option to replace Son on the left wing, while Giovani Lo Celso could offer more going forward than Lucas Moura did against the Blues.
That leaves Dele Alli and Harry Kane in attacking midfield and up front respectively but Spurs will have to ensure that the latter is given the proper support and the former is not consistently dropping back to help out a struggling midfield.
Meanwhile, one Spurs star has been slammed by Gary Neville.
