Spurs are seeking to win there successive league matches against Brentford for the first time since 1906, while the Bees have failed to win any of their last eight home games against Tottenham, dating back to 1948, albeit all four this century have produced draw.
Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur Preview
Can Tottenham Hotspur start to turn their form around? On Thursday night, Spurs booked their place in the Europa League round of 16 by beating Elfsborg 3-0 at home, thanks to a trio of goals from academy graduates, all opening their accounts for the club, with Dane Scarlett and Mikey Moore as well as senior debutant Damola Ajayi all scoring. However, despite taking care of business on a joyful night in Europe, Ange Postecoglou's team are still under enormous pressure to improve their league form.
That's because, last Sunday, the Lilywhites suffered a shock 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Leicester, despite taking the lead through Richarlison's header. That was a fourth successive Premier Leaue defeat for Spurs, who've now won only one of 11 fixtures since the start of December, hence why they're languishing in 15th,a mere eight points clear of the bottom three. In the next week, Tottenham face crucial cup trips to both Liverpool and Aston Villa that could be season-defining, so can they claim a confidence-boosting victory in West London?
Given all of the above, Brentford will very much fancy their chances of victory. A week ago, the Bees claimed only their second away win of the entire season, beating Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst, with Bryan Mbeumo slotting home a retaken penalty, after the first one was saved, before Kevin Schade bravely headed home the clincher. That's just a second win in eight for Thomas Frank's team, both of which have come on the road, but it was enough to propel Brentford up to 11th, above Man United. Games at the Gtech Community Stadium guarantee goals. Spurs game guarantee goals. In summary, this should be a thriller.
