Brentford will be without Milambo, Maghoma, and Carvalho due to injury. Van den Berg is doubtful with an undisclosed problem, while Ouattara and Onyeka are on international duty. Ajer is expected to continue in defence, and Henderson and Damsgaard are pushing for starting spots.
Tottenham have several key players missing, including Bissouma, Kulusevski, Maddison, Solanke, and Udogie all sidelined through injury. Simons is suspended, and Sarr is on international duty.

Brentford vs Tottenham Predicted Lineups
Brentford (4-3-3): Kelleher; Henry, Ajer, Collins, Kayode; Henderson, Janelt, Damsgaard; Lewis-Potter, Schade, Thiago
Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Spence, Van de Ven, Danso, Porro; Palhinha, Gray; Odobert, Bergvall, Kudus; Richarlison
The midfield battle will be key, with Brentford's Henderson and Janelt looking to disrupt Tottenham's Palhinha and Gray. Tottenham's attacking trio of Odobert, Kudus, and Richarlison will aim to exploit Brentford's weakness in defending against attacks down the wings.
Brentford vs Tottenham Match Prediction
Despite Brentford's strong home form, Tottenham's historical dominance in this fixture and their attacking strengths suggest they could edge this encounter. Tottenham's strength in stealing the ball from the opposition and attacking down the wings could be crucial, while Brentford's weakness in keeping possession might be exploited. I predict a narrow 2-1 victory for Tottenham.
Prediction: Brentford 1-2 Tottenham

Tottenham Win

Richarlison thrives as Tottenham's forward, contributing goals or assists in 60% of starts with his hold-up play and finishing. Brentford's defence concedes 1.4 expected goals per home game, creating prime chances for him to impact the scoresheet in this open matchup.
