Team News

Brentford
Tottenham
  • Ivan Toney is suspended until January, while Frank Onyeka, Bryan Mbeumo and Christian Norgaard are doubts.
  • Summer signing Mark Flekken is set to start between the sticks, with David Raya expected to secure a move to Arsenal.
  • Nathan Collins has joined to shore up the defence, but Thomas Frank is expected to continue with his tried and tested pair of Ethan Pinnock and Ben Mee.
  • Bayern and Tottenham have reportedly agreed a fee for Harry Kane, and the Spurs striker is unlikely to feature this weekend as a result.
  • Tanguy Ndombele, Ryan Sessegnon, Rodrigo Bentancur, Bryan Gil and Fraser Forster are all absent for the visitors.
  • Ange Postecoglou should hand Premier League debuts to no fewer than four players.

Prediction

  • Brentford finished just a point behind Tottenham last season in what was a superb 2022/23 for the Bees. They will miss Ivan Toney for the first few months of the campaign, however.
  • Spurs begin a new era under Ange Postecoglou, and he'll unlikely be able to call upon star striker Harry Kane this weekend. The north London side have failed to win their last three meetings with Brentford, drawing twice.
  • This should be an entertaining affair in the capital and one where the spoils may be shared.

  • This will happen to Spurs a lot this season if they do not replace Kane with a prolific striker.

  • @Marbella What exactly do you mean? The score was 2-2 last season WITH Kane.

  • @Marbella Who would that be ? There are only a few prolific strikers on the market and none of them costs less than 85-105 Mio Euro.

  • @neumi17 They need someone like Victor Osimhen.

  • total dominant for Tottenham but unlucky not to score in 2nd half!

  • Was Maddison shot outside the box

  • Brentford don't lose many games at home, are dangerous on the counter attack, and often score late goals. Tottenham are very much a work in progress and still look vulnerable from corners. Both sides will create chances but Brentford are more likely to see the game out. Brentford 3-2 Tottenham

  • Brentford don't lose many games at home, are dangerous on the counter attack, and often score late goals. Tottenham are still very much a work in progress and . Brentford 3-2 Tottenham

  • This will be a very attacking game.

  • Over 2.5 goals

  • @Marbella Won after just 36 minutes ! :)

  • Brentford 0-2 Tottenham

  • 11.5 over corners for me. Good luck to everyone.

  • this should be a big win for Tottenham

  • @wdetac I really don't see it myself.

  • @MEHJones I think it is right, just because brilliant goal keeper Brentford keep out the shots

  • @Jaffe148 The XG was fairly even.

  • @MEHJones remember that penalty will distort the xg. A draw was probably fair enough though

  • @deadelvisgrin True and a penalty that was won by cynically extending a foot into Son's path.

  • 2-0 Mbeumo to score
