Tottenham Hotspur will face Brentford in a Premier League clash on September 21, with kick-off set for 15:00 local time. Spurs come into this match on the back of a hard-fought League Cup victory over Coventry City, but defensive frailties have plagued them in recent outings. Tottenham have conceded in three consecutive matches, raising concerns about their backline's reliability ahead of this crucial fixture.
Brentford, meanwhile, are riding a wave of confidence following their 3-1 triumph over Leyton Orient in the League Cup. However, much like their opponents, defensive consistency has been an issue for the Bees, who have also allowed goals in their last three matches.
In their most recent encounter, Tottenham edged out Brentford 3-2 in a thrilling Premier League fixture eight months ago. Heading into this clash, Spurs have managed 11 wins from their last 20 games, alongside seven losses and two draws. Brentford, in comparison, have won eight of their last 20, while drawing seven and losing five.
Tottenham's recent form has been a mixed bag. While they secured wins against Coventry (2-1) and Everton (4-0), they’ve also suffered narrow defeats to Arsenal (0-1), Newcastle United (1-2), and Bayern Munich (2-3). A 1-1 draw with Leicester City rounds out their last six matches.
Brentford’s recent run has been slightly more positive. The Bees have registered four wins, including notable victories over Southampton (3-1), Colchester (1-0), and Crystal Palace (2-1). Yet, losses to Manchester City (1-2) and Liverpool (0-2) have highlighted their vulnerability against top-tier opposition.
Both sides will be eager to shore up their defenses and secure vital points as they aim to climb the Premier League table.
