Brentford vs Tottenham - LIVE!

Tottenham’s quest to qualify for next season’s Champions League takes them to an impressive Brentford side today.

Though few would doubt the fact Antonio Conte has raised the level of this Spurs team, last week’s loss at home to Brighton was hugely disappointing, offering hope to the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United in the race to finish in the top four.

Mikel Arteta’s side overcame United at the Emirates earlier on Saturday, taking them to fourth and putting the pressure on Spurs.

Indeed, that look to be playing on Tottenham’s mind. Having barely fashioned a chance in the first-half, they headed into the break lucky to be drawn at 0-0 given Ivan Toney had the best chance, when his poweful header hit the bar.

Conte made one change to the side who lost last time out, bringing Ryan Sessegnon in at left-back for Sergio Reguilon.

Brentford, meanwhile, are thriving.

Having shaken off any relegation fears, Thomas Frank’s side are one of the Premier League’s form teams and are ending their first season in the top-flight in sterling fashion.

Christian Eriksen has had a transformative impact on the team and the sight of him lining up against his former club will be an emotional one.

That was a turgid half from Spurs. Brentford have had them on the back foot with their energy at times and kept them out with their impressive defending but the visitors have offered next to nothing in response.
