Tottenham vs Brentford: Preview, Prediction, Lineup & How to Watch on TV

Tottenham Hotspur will host Brentford this Saturday, 21 September, as part of Matchday 5 of the 2024/25 Premier League season. Under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, the team urgently needs to respond to their inconsistent form, having suffered a 1-0 defeat in the North London derby against Arsenal last time out, accumulating only four points from their first four matches.

In their most recent outing, Spurs managed to secure a victory over Championship side Coventry City in the Carabao Cup. However, the performance left much to be desired, and fans will be hoping to see a more cohesive display as they tackle this crucial league fixture.

Tottenham Team News

In the last Carabao Cup match against Coventry City, unfortunately, Wilson Odobert had to exit due to injury, making him unavailable for this weekend's clash. This is disappointing not only because of the player's setback, who we hope recovers quickly, but also due to the underwhelming performances of alternatives like Johnson and Werner.

“It’s hard to say. Wilson’s injury looks fairly significant, so we’ll just wait and see,” confirmed Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou regarding the player's condition.

Predicted Tottenham lineup vs Brentford: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son

Brentford Team News

Brentford also faced a tough challenge in their EFL Cup third-round match against Leyton Orient, who shocked the home crowd by taking an early lead through Brandon Cooper in the 11th minute. However, the Bees didn’t have to wait until the 88th minute to respond. Just six minutes later, former Liverpool talent Fabio Carvalho levelled the score with a stunning overhead kick. Mikkel Damsgaard’s header and a precise strike from Christian Norgaard sealed a 3-1 victory, maintaining Brentford’s perfect home record this season. Yet, they now confront a challenging run of away matches, having yet to earn points on the road.

Predicted Brentford lineup vs Tottenham: Flekken; Ajer, Van de Berg, Pinnock, Collins, Lewis-Potter; Damsgaard, Norgaard, Janelt; Wissa, Mbeumo

Tottenham vs Brentford Score Prediction

Tottenham must respond decisively now. Under Postecoglou, they need to make a statement, and if they aspire to compete with Manchester City or Arsenal, they must prove it on the pitch. This is a crucial moment to start accumulating points.

I will go with an optimistic Tottenham 3-1 Brentford scoreline.
