Brentford put an end to their frustrating five-game run without a victory in Premier League London derbies with a hard-fought 2-1 triumph over Crystal Palace last week.
That result not only provided a much-needed boost but also kept the top half of the table within reach. Head coach Thomas Frank was particularly pleased with the defensive display, as tightening things up at the back could be the key to unlocking even greater success for a team that has both scored and conceded more goals than several higher-ranked sides this season.
The Gtech Community Stadium faithful will be desperate to see their team deliver a home victory after a tough spell that saw Brentford fail to win in their last four Premier League matches on their own turf. However, given that those fixtures were against teams currently occupying the top four, there is little reason for concern. A broader look at their home form paints a far more positive picture, with seven victories from their other eight league outings at the Gtech. That record offers real encouragement as Brentford look to claim their first home win against Tottenham in any competition since the 1947/48 campaign.
Tottenham, meanwhile, continue to impress in cup competitions, but their Premier League form tells a very different story. The ongoing injury crisis has severely hampered their squad depth, with last week’s 2-1 home defeat to Leicester highlighting their struggles. The result left Spurs with just one league victory since their emphatic win over Manchester City, despite taking the lead in six of those games.
That latest setback extended Tottenham’s miserable run in London-based Premier League fixtures. Since their commanding 4-1 victory over Aston Villa in early November, Spurs have been unable to secure three points in eight consecutive league games played in the capital. Frustration among the supporters has been growing, with some shifting their criticism from head coach Ange Postecoglou to chairman Daniel Levy. The dissatisfaction reached a boiling point in the form of a banner demanding an end to Levy’s 24-year tenure, a period that has seen Tottenham collect only one League Cup.
Yoane Wissa has been a standout performer for Brentford at home, making the most of the Gtech’s familiar surroundings to produce his best displays. Nine of his 11 Premier League goals this season have come on home soil, and four of his last seven strikes in front of the Brentford fans have been the team’s opening goal of the match. His ability to deliver in key moments could once again be crucial as the Bees seek a long-awaited win over Spurs.
For Tottenham, the return of Richarlison has been one of the few positives in recent weeks. The Brazilian forward has been their most reliable goal source, netting Tottenham’s last two Premier League goals. However, both of those came in losing efforts, underlining the team’s defensive frailties and lack of consistency in closing out matches.
The challenge for Brentford will be breaking their habit of slow starts, as they have led at half-time in just one of their last ten league fixtures. Against a Tottenham side that has frequently started well but struggled to maintain control, the opening stages of this encounter could be decisive.
With the Gtech Community Stadium primed for a big occasion and both teams desperate for points, this matchup has all the ingredients for an intriguing London derby. Brentford will be eager to build on their momentum from last week, while Tottenham seek a much-needed turnaround to avoid slipping further off the pace. Given both teams’ tendencies for entertaining but unpredictable performances, this clash promises plenty of drama.
