Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford: Match Preview

Conte's Spurs eye top-four return against Brentford

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to strengthen their grip on fourth place in the Premier League when they host Brentford on Saturday. Spurs are currently four points clear of fifth-placed Arsenal, and a win against the Bees would all but guarantee them a Champions League spot for next season.

Brentford, meanwhile, are looking to finish the season strongly after a difficult start. The Bees have won just one of their last five games, but they will be confident of causing an upset against a Tottenham side that has been inconsistent this season.

Key players

Tottenham: Harry Kane, Heung-min Son, Dejan Kulusevski

Brentford: Ivan Toney, Bryan Mbeumo, Christian Eriksen

What the managers have said

Antonio Conte (Tottenham): "We have to be focused and determined to take three points. Brentford are a good team, but we are at home and we need to win."

Thomas Frank (Brentford): "We know it will be a tough game, but we are confident that we can get a result. We have a good team and we are playing well."

Prediction

Tottenham are the favorites to win this match, but Brentford are capable of causing an upset. The Bees have a good record against top-six sides this season, and they will be confident of getting a result at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. However, Tottenham are in need of a win to strengthen their grip on fourth place, and they should have enough quality to see off the challenge of Brentford.

Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Brentford
