Tottenham boss Thomas Frank will face his former employers when Brentford visit North London on Saturday, December 6.
Both sides are part of a four-team collective that have amassed 19 points from 14 Premier League games this season, leaving them 11th and 13th respectively.
Pressure is mounting on the former Bees’ boss to deliver better results, especially since Spurs are a point worse off now than they were at the same stage last season under Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham vs Brentford prediction: Honours even in North London
Key stats
- Spurs have won just one of their last seven Premier League matches, none of which came in their last five such outings.
- Only Wolves have a worse home record in the league than Tottenham, with the hosts only registering five points in front of their fans.
- Brentford have lost their last three away Premier League dates in a row.
- Only Manchester City (11) opened the scoring more than Brentford’s nine times in the league this season.
Correct score prediction: Tottenham 2-2 Brentford
In terms of goals scored this season, there is not much between the sides, as Spurs netted 23 league strikes, two more than their visitors. The home side only registered a clean sheet in 14% of their league matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, opening the door for Keith Andrews’ men to be more attacking than they were at Arsenal.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Poor home form continues
- HOME: 5/4 (2.25) – 44.4%
- DRAW: 5/2 (3.5) – 28.6%
- AWAY: 2/1 (3.0) – 33.3%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Despite only winning one of the seven Premier League fixtures at home this season, Ladbrokes have given Spurs a 44.4% chance of winning this game. However, Brentford have a decent chance to snatch the points, just like Fulham did recently, at 33.3%. The lowest probability, according to the bookmaker, is a draw at 28.6%. With both sides failing to win their previous outing, any positive result here will be welcome.

Tottenham preview: Van Den Ven back for Spurs
With a Champions League date with Slavia Prague in sight, Tottenham may stick with most of the team that started against Newcastle during the week. Mickey van den Ven got some much-deserved rest in midweek, so he should be restored alongside Cristian Romero. Dominic Solanke (ankle), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), Yves Bissouma (ankle), Radu Dragusin (fitness) and James Maddison (ACL) all remain out of contention for this one, but Kota Takai should be available.
Predicted lineup: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur; Kudus, Bergvall, Johnson; Kolo Muani

Brentford preview: More attacking intent
Andrews employed a defensive back-five against Arsenal during the week, which did not work out in the end. The Bees could revert to their usual shape in this one, considering how porous Spurs’ defence are. Igor Thiago will likely reclaim his place in the starting XI, probably at the expense of Ethan Pinnock.
Predicted lineup: Kelleher; Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter; Yarmoliuk, Henderson; Ouattara, Damsgaard, Schade; Thiago
Last five games
- Arsenal 2-0 Brentford
- Brentford 3-1 Burnley
- Brighton 2-1 Brentford
- Brentford 3-1 Newcastle
- Crystal Palace 2-0 Brentford
Player to watch: Igor Thiago
Igor Thiago has been the main man up front for Brentford this season. The Brazilian has scored five goals in his last four appearances for the club, part of his 11 goals in 14 Premier League matches this term. The away side’s threat is likely to come through him this weekend.
