Tottenham head into Saturday's clash with Brentford are the clear favourite with the bookmakers but the Bees sit two points and four places above their hosts and should prove to be a tough nut to crack this weekend.

Tottenham preview: Back-t0-back defeats
Tottenham picked up four points from their opening two outings in the Premier League this season but their last two games have ended in defeat.
Arsenal got the better of their local rivals in the North London derby on Sunday where just one goal proved enough for the visitors to secure all three points and the bragging rights.
Spurs could be without the services of Richarlison and Yves Bissouma this weekend, thought, the latter could pass a late fitness test.
Predicted lineup: Vicario (GK), Romero, Porro, van de Ven, Udogie, Maddison, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Son, Solanke & Johnson

Brentford preview: Two wins, two defeats
The Bees have been hit and miss in their opening four league games but still sit in the top half of the table after four games.
Their opening-day win against the Eagles was followed up with defeat at Liverpool but a return home against Southampton produced their second win of the campaign. Despite a decent performance away at Man City last time out, Brentford suffered a 2-1 defeat.
Joshua Dasilva, Mathias Jensen, Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey aren't expected to make it back from injury in time to face Tottenham and the same goes for new signing Igor Thiago.
Predicted lineup: Flekken (GK), Ajer, Pinnock, Collins, van den Berg, Norgaard, Wissa, Janelt, Mbeumo, Damsgaard & Lewis-Potter

Player to watch: Yoane Wissa
Yoane Wissa has adapted really well to life in the Premier League after making the move to Brentford in 2021.
The 28-year-old DR Congo international has made 106 appearances and scored 29 goals in the Premier League, three of which have arrived in his opening four games of this season.
The Brentford winger is scoring and creating goals on a regular basis
We're expecting another big performance from one of Brentford's main men and wouldn't bee too surprised if he scored and helped the Bees claim a positive result at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
