When, where, and how to watch Tottenham vs Brentford
After crashing out of the FA Cup at the weekend, Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League duty this week with Brentford the team standing in their way. Here are all the details you need regarding when the game takes place, how you can watch it, and what the latest team news is.
Tottenham‘s season is now all about the Premier League, after they were narrowly beaten by Manchester City on Friday night to end the Lilywhites’ FA Cup hopes for the season.
Thankfully, Ange Postecoglou‘s side are in a strong position in the league. Spurs currently sit in fifth place, and are just three points away from the three sides immediately above them, and the race for Champions League football can now demand every ounce of Tottenham’s attention.
Brentford, meanwhile, are on a terrible run of form. The Bees haven’t won a game since December 2nd, when they beat Luton Town. They have lost six league games on the bounce, and also exited the FA Cup to Wolves earlier this month.

Spurs vs Brentford team news
For once, Tottenham have some good news going into a league game when it comes to injuries. Namely, James Maddison is back and will be ready to start the game, after getting a run out against Manchester City at the weekend.
Giovani Lo Celso and Manor Solomon could also be close to a return. The pair are due back soon, but it remains to be seen whether they are deemed match fit, and the likelihood is that they would make the bench at the very best, but don’t be surprised to see them miss out entirely.
Pape Matar Sarr saw his Senegal side bow out of the African Cup of Nations on Monday, so he will rejoin the Tottenham squad soon. It’s unclear whether he will be put straight into the Spurs team for Wednesday’s game, and that will largely depend on how he feels after playing 120 minutes for his country.
Meanwhile, both Yves Bissouma and Heung-min Son will be absent as they continue their international duties at AFCON and the Asia Cup.
Brentford have a few long-term injuries to worry about: Rico Henry won’t play again this season, Bryan Mbeumo is out until March, and both Kevin Schade and Aaron Hickey are about a week away from regaining fitness.
Christian Norgaard could well be ready for the Spurs game, but it will be touch and go. Meanwhile, Yoane Wissa, Frank Onyeka, and Saman Ghoddos are all away at AFCON.
The Spurs Web prediction
We have got to be beating Brentford in this one. They are on a horrendous run of form and just cannot stop conceding goals, so our attackers should make the most of this and punish the Bees. I will go for a 3-0 win to Spurs.
