Tottenham hoping to avoid back-to-back Loandon derby defeats.
After a morale-boosting EFL Cup victory, Spurs aim to fend off consecutive London derby losses as they host Brentford, who also tasted midweek success, in a clash set to stir the Premier League standings.
Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs will return to Premier League action after a midweek EFL Cup third-round 2-1 win over Coventry City. This timely victory helped soothe the wound from their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in the North London derby last weekend. A header from Gabriel Magalhães [64’] eventually divided both sides in front of the home crowd.
The Lilywhites are keen to build momentum in their weekend fixture against the Bees, aiming to return to Premier League winning ways after back-to-back defeats [DWLL]. These losses leave Spurs in 13th place with just four points [1W, 1D, 2L] as they head into the weekend encounter. This is their fewest tally of points since the 2015-16 season when they managed only 3 points from their first four games.
While seeking their second win of the season, Ange Postecoglou’s side has been on a challenging run, losing seven of their last 11 PL games [3W, 1D, 7L]. Avoiding back-to-back London derby defeats remains the objective. A 4-2-3-1 formation is expected, with Dominic Solanke leading the attack alongside Son Heung-Min and Brennan Johnson on the flanks. Richarlison is ruled out of the weekend’s clash.
Brentford
Just like their opponents on Saturday, Brentford secured a midweek 3-1 victory against ten-man Leyton Orient in their EFL Cup third-round match. This win followed a 2-1 defeat to league leaders Manchester City, despite Brentford taking the lead in the first minute through Yoane Wissa.
It was Erling Haaland who delivered Brentford's second defeat in four games, maintaining their pattern of alternating wins and losses. Ahead of their upcoming clash, Brentford are in 9th place with 6 points. However, the team faces challenges on the road, having suffered 12 defeats in their last 16 away matches.
In addition, Brentford have only managed one win in their last six encounters with Tottenham. They are expected to set up in a 4—3—3 formation, featuring Kevin Schade at the center of attack, likely supported by Bryan Mbeumo and Keane Lewis-Potter.
Unfortunately, Yoane Wissa, who exited with an ankle injury during the first half against Manchester City, will be unavailable for this fixture.
