Brentford fc host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League this afternoon with the aim of moving into the top half of the table.

The Bees hope to build on a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace when they welcome the struggling Spurs and Thomas Frank’s side know three points would lift them above Brighton into 10th. Bryan Mbeumo is in a rich vein of form with four goals and an assist from his last five league outings and could cause serious issues for Tottenham’s makeshift defence.

Ange Postecoglou is under increased pressure to turn around Tottenham’s league form with Spurs on a three-game losing streak. They are down to 16th in the table and are juggling an ever-growing list of injuries which doesn’t help matters. Radu Dragusin is the latest defender to pick up a knock though Tottenham were given a boost by the return of Micky van de Ven for their Europa League win over Elfsborg during the week.

Postecoglou on Dragusin injury

Ange Postecoglou gave an update on centre-back Radu Dragusin.

The Tottenham boss said: "We'll let it settle down and obviously get some more information over the weekend.

“He's not available for this weekend at the moment and we just have to see the extent of it. It's a knee, so we've got to let it settle down.

“There's always concern when there's a knee injury but we don't know the extent."

Frank on pressure Postecoglou is under

The Brentford manager also said he can relate to the pressure on Ange Postecoglou and explained how the manager must make the big calls.

Frank added: "I have massive respect for Ange. Speaking for myself, it is tough at times and feels like you're carrying everything on your shoulders.

"It is always my final call, it's the manager who stands there. That's why I can definitely put myself in his place.

"He's done very well to keep going and keep believing.

"Maybe, in one of his toughest moments, they will win a trophy, which will be massive for Tottenham. It could be one of those seasons where they suffer incredibly - and maybe they suffer even more - but they win a trophy."

Thomas Frank on Tottenham's crisis

Thomas Frank was asked what it will be like to face Tottenham today during their poor run of form.

"We were also hit very hard by injuries last year so, from that perspective, I understand the situation Ange is in now at Tottenham," said the Bees boss.

"When results are also not going your way, that's tough. They're things we need to deal with as managers and I'm convinced that Ange is doing that well and he will get through it.

"He doesn't need advice, but he just needs to trust his own processes and trust what he believes in, which he does - that's the main thing.

"When we played Tottenham away earlier this season, we played a very, very good Tottenham team - I thought they were flying. When they hit their high level, they are very hard to play against.

"I expect a game between two teams that want to attack, so it could be open at times. We need to be the team that controls an open game, which is difficult."

Bryan Mbeumo gets it right second time around as Brentford sting Crystal Palace

Bryan Mbeumo’s retaken penalty helped lift Brentford to a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace in soggy conditions at Selhurst Park.

He clipped the post with an initial attempt but was given another chance after VAR determined Eagles captain Marc Guehi had encroached.

Mbeumo was on target with his second attempt, breaking the deadlock in the 66th minute, before Kevin Schade nodded in a second 10 minutes from time.

Brentford vs Tottenham prediction

Brentford might be the favourites as they are in good form and have home advantage in this Premier League clash but Tottenham have too much ability to continue their horrible run of form in the league.

Expect goals from both sides and an exciting conclusion to the game with Spurs edging it late in the day.

Brentford 1-2 Tottenham.
