Brentford Vs Tottenham Preview
After an indifferent start to 2025, Brentford got back to winning ways last weekend as they beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park.
A Bryan Mbeumo retaken-penalty and a late strike from Kevin Schade ensured the points went back to west London. That despite January signing Romain Esse halving the defecit for the Eagles.
The Bees brilliant early-season home record has been shot to pieces in recent weeks. EFL Championship strugglers Plymouth tasted victory at the Gtech Community Stadium in the FA Cup three weeks ago.
Either side of that defeat, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal and most recently Liverpool have all won in TW8. You have to go back to December 7 for the last time Thomas Frank’s side won on home soil.
Nonetheless, the highly reputable Danish manager sees his troops occupy 11th spot going into GW24. A victory could seem them leapfrog up to ninth.

Taking just their Premier League form into consideration, Tottenham are in utter turmoil at the moment. The north Londoners are without a win since December 15.
That day, they hit basement dwellers Southampton for five but have only picked up one point since. That came in the 2-2 home draw with Wolves on December 29.
Ange Postecoglou has lost every league game so far in 2025. That includes last weekend’s dismal 2-1 loss to relegation scrappers Leicester.
The next Spurs manager market has seen a series of names banded about as potential replacements for the Aussie gaffer. So far, the former Celtic man is hanging on to his job.

Josh Dasilva, Ethan Pinnock, Aaron Hickey, Igor Thiago and Gustavo Nunes are all ruled out for Brentford. The same applies to Rico Henry who has suffered another setback.
There are also doubts over Christian Norgaard and Kevin Schade who were both taken off against Crystal Palace. However, both are expected to be passed fit.
January signing Michael Kayode is in line to make his debut for the Bees. The Italian right-back recently joined on loan from Fiorentina.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have fresh injury concerns to contend with. Thursday’s UEFA Europa League victory saw Radu Dragusin twist his knee and he is a major doubt.
Brennan Johnson, James Maddison, Wilson Odobert, Guglielmo Vicario, Timo Werner, Dominic Solanke, Destiny Udogie and Cristian Romero are all expected to miss out.
On a brighter note, Micky van de Ven managed 45 minutes during the week without any complications. The Dutch roadrunner is expected to be given the all-clear to start.
