ℹ️ Team News: Tottenham Hotspur

In our view, Spurs should employ a 4-3-3 formation for the game featuring Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, Dejan Kulusevski, Yves Bissouma, James Maddison, Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke and Heung-Min Son.

🗞️ Team News: Brentford

Brentford manager Thomas Frank has multiple availability issues to deal with. Josh Dasilva (Knee surgery), Paris Maghoma (unknown injury), Mathias Jensen (Calf injury), Igor Thiago (Meniscus injury) and Aaron Hickey (Hamstring injury) are not able to play.

We reckon that The Bees might play in a 4-3-3 lineup, giving starts to Mark Flekken, Sepp van den Berg, Nathan Collins, Ethan Pinnock, K. Vassbakk Ajer, Mikkel Damsgaard, Christian Noergaard, Vitaly Janelt, Bryan Mbeumo, Kevin Schade and Fabio Carvalho.

🔮 Prediction

In our view, Brentford will surely be able to score a goal against this Tottenham Hotspur lineup, although that possibly won’t quite be enough to avoid defeat.

We’re tipping a close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the match. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
