• Fixture: Brentford vs Tottenham
• Date: Thursday, 01 January 2026
• Kick-off: 20:00 GMT
• Venue: Brentford Community Stadium

Brentford will be looking to bounce back from a recent loss against Tottenham. With a strong home record, including a convincing 4-1 win over Bournemouth, they'll aim to exploit their attacking prowess led by Thiago. The midfield duo of Yarmolyuk and Janelt will be crucial in controlling the game's tempo and providing support to the forwards.

Tottenham, on the other hand, have shown inconsistency in their recent performances, with a mix of wins and losses. Their victory over Brentford earlier in the season might give them confidence, but they'll need to be wary of Brentford's home form. Richarlison's presence up front could be key, but they'll need to be solid at the back to counter Brentford's attacking threat.

However, their away form has been less impressive, with losses to Tottenham and Arsenal.
