However, Aaron Hickey is still working his way back to full fitness and remains unlikely to feature, while new signing Michael Kayode could make his debut.

The Bees will be without Rico Henry (hamstring), Josha Dasilva, Igor Thiago, and Gustavo Nunes, all sidelined due to injury.

Tottenham Team News

Tottenham’s defensive concerns continue, though Micky van de Ven made a welcome return midweek. The Dutch centre-back’s presence will be a key factor for Ange Postecoglou’s side.

Richarlison and Pape Sarr have also returned from knocks, but Cristian Romero, despite resuming training, is unlikely to be risked.

New January signing Radu Dragusin will miss out after picking up an injury on Thursday.

Spurs remain without James Maddison, Timo Werner, Brennan Johnson, Destiny Udogie, Guglielmo Vicario, Wilson Odobert, and Dominic Solanke, significantly limiting Postecoglou’s attacking options.

Prediction and Tactical Breakdown

Brentford’s Strength at Home

Thomas Frank’s side have established their home ground as a difficult place to visit, with their well-organised defence and physical style often unsettling opposition teams. Brentford’s direct approach and set-piece threat could cause issues for a depleted Spurs defence.

Christian Norgaard’s return is vital for Brentford, as his ability to control the midfield and disrupt Tottenham’s build-up play will be crucial.

Tottenham’s Attacking Challenges

With injuries to Werner, Maddison, and Johnson, Tottenham’s forward line lacks creativity and width. The return of Richarlison provides a focal point in attack, but Spurs will need their midfield to step up in support.

Postecoglou’s philosophy remains unchanged – Spurs will press high and play with intensity – but their defensive vulnerabilities could be exposed against Brentford’s structured approach.

Score Prediction

With Brentford’s home record and Spurs’ weakened squad, the Bees appear well-placed to take all three points. A 2-1 win for Brentford seems a likely outcome.
