Tottenham Hotspur Preview – Spurs to return to winning ways?
Antonio Conte has started life at Tottenham Hotspur by taking four points from two Premier League games. In match one, Spurs drew 0-0 with Everton at Goodison Park. The Lilywhites then came from behind to beat Leeds United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Conte’s side suffered an embarrassing UEFA Europa Conference League defeat at Mura a week ago. They have had to wait a long time for a chance to put things right, as the weekend’s game with Burnley was called off due to bad weather.
Conte will be looking for seven points from a possible nine with victory over Brentford on Thursday. Spurs then face Norwich City at home at the weekend. Can the Londoners start to build some momentum?
Brentford Preview – Can the Bees upset the Lilywhites?
Thomas Frank’s Brentford made a superb start to life in the Premier League, opening up with three wins, three draws and one defeat from seven. However, after an outstanding victory at West Ham United in early October, things went downhill for the west London outfit.
Brentford suffered four Premier League defeats on the spin, losing to Chelsea, Leicester City, Burnley and Norwich. They then drew 3-3 with Newcastle United in a six-goal thriller at St James’ Park. Brentford finally returned to winning ways last time out, edging past struggling Everton at the Brentford Community Stadium.
