We’re into the final few weeks of the Premier League season and things are really starting to heat up at both ends of the table. The title race is as close as it’s been in years, the relegation scrap is still wide open and all 20 clubs want to make a statement before the campaign draws to a close. Today, we’re going to take a look at what should be an intense clash between two sides at either end of the spectrum – Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur.

Brentford

Brentford seemed as if they were going to fade away after a positive start to the campaign but instead, they’ve bounced back in style with an insane run of form to push them away from the threat of relegation. They have the kind of team spirit that makes them a threat against just about anyone in the top flight and with the top half in reach, they shouldn’t fear anyone between now and the end of May.

Team News

Onyeka and Canos are out of action through injury with the other fitness concerns being Zanka and Pinnock.

Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur fans could be forgiven for being a bit worried regarding their immediate future after an uncertain start to life under Antonio Conte. Alas, while the hiccups are still there and the ‘work in progress’ sign is still up, that doesn’t mean there aren’t reasons to be hopeful. They are the frontrunners to finish fourth and if they can achieve that goal, the manager has something to work with in the summer.

Team News

It’s the same trio currently out of action for the visitors with Skipp, Tanganga and Doherty all missing the short trip on Saturday.

Factors to Consider

• In their last meeting back in December, Tottenham beat Brentford 2-0.
• Brentford have won five and lost one of their last six games.
• Tottenham have won four and lost two of their last six games.
• Brentford have scored 14 goals and conceded five in their last six games.
• Tottenham have scored 16 goals and conceded six in their last six games.

Conclusion

This has the potential to be a really lively affair in front of an exceptional crowd and while it may be easy to slip into a pessimistic attitude given how inconsistent Spurs can be, we think they’re going to play ball and swing for the fences with the Bees. It’ll be end-to-end action with both sides having something to prove but in the end, Tottenham’s desire will win them the day in the form of a 3-1 victory.
