Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur to win 2-1
Best Odds: 7/1
Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford will face each other in the London derby next weekend. The Premier League match between Ryan Mason’s team and Thomas Frank’s side will be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 12:30pm UK time on Saturday.
Tottenham Hotspur
It looked so promising for Tottenham Hotspur in the first half of the season, but things have really taken a dip to the south. Even since Antonio Conte parted company with Spurs, the North London club appear to be in free fall. Tottenham are no longer in the running for the Premier League top four, and there is a very good chance that they could miss out on the UEFA Europa League places as well.
Ryan Mason’s side are seventh in the Premier League table at the moment with 57 points from 36 matches. Spurs are nine points behind fourth-placed Manchester United, who have played 35 matches, and are not going to end up in the top four of the standings this season.
Ryan Mason’s side will head into the London derby against Brentford at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League next weekend on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa at Villa Park in the league. It came after a 1-0 win against Crystal Palace at home in the London derby in the league and followed a 4-3 loss at the hands of Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League.
Team News:
Tottenham Hotspur interim manager Ryan Mason is likely to line up in a 3-4-3 formation. Harry Kane will lead the line for Spurs as usual. Oliver Skipp will start in midfield. Emerson Royal will keep his place at right wing-back, with Christian Romero at the heart of the Spurs defence.
Brentford
Brentford are going places and have been really superb this season. While many expected the London club to fight for survival in the Premier League, they have done much better than that and were at one stage looking like they were going to end up in the UEFA Champions League places. That is not going to happen, but there is no doubt that they are going to end the campaign looking back on it as a success.
Thomas Frank’s side are as high as ninth in the Premier League table at the moment with 53 points from 36 matches. The Bees are above the likes of Fulha, Chelsea, Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham United and are very likely to end up in the top half of the standings this season.
Thomas Frank’s side will head into the London derby against Tottenham Hotspur next weekend on the back of a 2-0 victory over West Ham United at home in the Premier League. It came after a 1-0 loss at the hands of Brentford at Anfield and followed a 2-1 victor over Nottingham Forest at home in the Premier League.
Team News:
Brentford manager Thomas Frank is likely to line up in a 4-3-3 formation. David Raya will start in goal for the Bees. Aaron Hickey will start at right-back, with Ben Mee in central defence.
