Ryan Sessegnon makes first Premier League start for Tottenham vs Brighton with Heung-min Son suspended
Ryan Sessegnon has been handed his first Premier League start for Tottenham’s Boxing Day visit of Brighton to White Hart Lane.
Sessegnon, the England youngster who joined Spurs earlier this year, has been restricted to only two substitute appearances in the top flight so far this term, though he has started in the Champions League – scoring in last month’s defeat by Bayern Munich.
He comes into the starting XI today, however, with Jose Mourinho handing Sessegnon an opportunity in place of Heung-min Son, who is suspended following the red card he received playing against Chelsea last week.
#THFC: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Winks, Sissoko, Lucas, Dele, Sessegnon, Kane (C).

Spurs lost 2-0 to their London rivals in that clash and will hope to get back to winning ways against Brighton, who stunned Mauricio Pochettino and his players when the two sides met at the Amex in October.
The Seagulls made five changes, with Lewis Dunk missing from the squad and Neal Maupay and Davy Propper left on the bench.
A defeat for Brighton could see them end Boxing Day only two points clear of the relegation places, while a win may move them as high as 11th.
Spurs on the other hand could move into the top five with a victory or end the day in the bottom half of the table should they lose and other results go against them.

Liverpool facing same problems as Manchester United with Club World Cup badge on kit, but may wear it for one Premier League game
Liverpool will reportedly have permission to wear the gold Club World Cup badge on their kit for one Premier League game only.
A request to the governing body was made by the club and The Telegraph say it has been successful, with the Wolves match on 29 December being the game they can wear it.
UEFA allow Liverpool to wear the badge – received by beating Flamengo 1-0 – in Champions League matches this season and next.

However, the Premier League only allow charitable messaging to be added to shirts over the course of a season with rules stating proposed changes have to be ratified by their board.
Liverpool’s next European game is not until 18 February when they play Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League.
Real Madrid were permitted by LaLiga to wear the badge when they won the Club World Cup and it is thought Liverpool pointed out it shows English clubs in a good light, having become only the second Premier League team to win the competition.
But the organisation have put their foot down before, in 2008, when Manchester United won the Club World Cup.
LATEST FOOTBALL NEWS
They were permitted to wear it during FA Cup matches and FIFA Secretary at the time, General Jerome Valcke, said: “It makes more sense for Manchester United to wear the badge in every game in every competition, rather than just in the Champions League. That is what Milan did for all of last year while they were entitled to wear it.
“But the FA Premier League has to be different. Their view is that it should only be worn in the Champions League as that is the competition which you have to win to enter the Club World Championship. But you could say that you have to win the Premier League to be in the Champions League.”
Liverpool’s next FA Cup game will be against Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton on 5 January.
