Tottenham suffered their 13th league-defeat of the season against Villa last Saturday despite the fact that Harry Kane found the back of the net from the penalty spot. Prior to that, Spurs secured a narrow 1-0 win over Crystal Palace thanks to Kane’s effort on the stroke of half-time. Meanwhile, having won just one of their last six outings, with four defeats in the period, Tottenham have slipped out of the top four and are now fighting to secure at least a Europa Conference League qualification. Defensive frailties have been key behind the North London side’s dip in form as they have kept only one clean sheet in their last 11 top flight games, and they have conceded 24 goals in the period. On a positive note, Spurs have won six and lost only one of their last eight league-fixtures at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Brentford, on the other hand, have lost three of their last four away-games in the top flight, while their only win in the period came against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. However, the Bees have won three of their last four games, keeping clean sheets in each of those triumphs. Thomas Frank’s side secured their 13th Premier League-win of the season against West Ham last time out thanks to two unanswered goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa. The result sealed Brentford’s top-10 finish in the English top flight for the first time in their history. Meanwhile, with two games remaining, the Bees still have an outside chance of securing a European football for next season, as a victory on Saturday would move them within one point of seventh-placed Tottenham. But their final league-match will be against leaders Manchester City next week.
Tottenham probable starting lineup: Forster, Romero, Dier, Lenglet, Porro, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Davies, Kulusevski, Son, Kane
Brentford probable starting lineup: Raya, Zanka, Mee, Pinnock, Hickey, Onyeka, Jensen, Janelt, Henry, Mbeumo, Wissa
