Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to get back to winning ways when they face Brentford tonight in a crucial match in the Premier League top-four race.
With Arsenal beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, the pressure will be on Antonio Conte’s side to get three points at the Brentford Community Stadium.
Spurs saw their four-match winning run come to an end at home to Brighton last weekend as Leandro Trossard’s late goal secured a 1-0 win for the visitors.
Christian Eriksen will be facing Tottenham for the first time since leaving the club to join Inter Milan in January 2020. The Denmark international has inspired Brentford in their fight for Premier League survival since returning to the pitch after suffering a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 last summer.

Prediction
Brentford have made life difficult for most of the top teams this season - even if they only have the opening win against Arsenal and draw against Liverpool to show for it - and their recent form is impressive. Thomas Frank’s side are approaching ‘on the beach’ territory, however, and a Tottenham side in need of a response and with much more to play for should have the advantage. Brentford 1-3 Tottenham
