Brighton manager Hughton hopes Arsenal win inspires Spurs upset

Brighton manager Chris Hughton hopes his troops can draw inspiration from their victory over Arsenal last month when take on Tottenham Hotspur tonight.

The Seagulls are in danger of slipping back into the relegation quagmire with another loss. Hughton's side are seven points ahead of the drop zone but face five of the top-six sides in their final five games.

Hughton told The Argus: "I think it will and I sincerely hope so because you have to draw on whatever you can. What you want is a group of players going into a game confident you can get a result.

"The only way you get that confidence is in the team strength itself and a belief in the way we are playing. But also in performances against some of the top six where they have been good enough and decent enough performances."
