Tottenham hoping to avoid back-to-back Loandon derby defeats.
After a morale-boosting EFL Cup win over Coventry City, Spurs aim to rebound in the Premier League and avoid back-to-back London derby defeats as they host Brentford at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Saturday.
Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs return to Premier League action after a midweek EFL Cup third-round 2-1 win over Coventry City. This victory helped soothe their wounds after conceding North London derby bragging rights to Arsenal last weekend following a narrow 1-0 defeat. A header from Gabriel Magalhães divided the sides in front of the home crowd.
The Lilywhites are keen to build on their weekend fixture against the Bees as they look to return to Premier League winning ways following back-to-back defeats. These successive losses leave Spurs in 13th place with only four points heading into the weekend encounter, marking their fewest tally of points since the 2015-16 season.
While aiming for their second win of the season, Ange Postecoglou’s side has lost seven of their last 11 Premier League games. Avoiding back-to-back London derby defeats remains a prime objective for them.
A 4—2—3—1 formation is expected with Dominic Solanke, who returned from injury last time out, at the center of attack, accompanied by Son Heung-Min and Brennan Johnson on the flanks. Richarlison remains ruled out of the weekend’s clash.
Brentford
Just like Saturday’s opponents, Brentford earned a midweek 3-1 win when they faced ten-man Leyton Orient in the EFL Cup third-round clash. The victory comes after their 2-1 loss to league leaders Manchester City despite taking the lead inside the first minute via Yoane Wissa.
None other than Erling Haaland handed the Bees their second defeat in four games, leaving them alternating between a win and a loss. Currently, Brentford are 9th with 6 points on the board ahead of Saturday’s mid-afternoon clash.
While eyeing a win based on their early-season form, an abysmal record on the road leaves the Bees with 12 defeats in their last 16 trips. In addition, the Bees have won just one of their last six meetings with Tottenham.
A 4-3-3 formation with Kevin Schade at the center of the attack is expected. Bryan Mbeumo and Keane Lewis-Potter could join in on the attack. Yoane Wissa, who was substituted due to an ankle injury against Manchester City, is ruled out of this fixture.
