TEAMS PREVIEW

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

When things don't go as planned, people will find ways to blame you for even the most basic of issues. That's what's happening with poor Ange Postecoglou. He is being chastised for his "always win a trophy in the second season" remark, owing to his team's disastrous start to the season, which has seen them winning just four points in four games, the fewest they have made at this stage since 2015-16 (3). 

Postecoglou has been Tottenham's manager for more than a season. And his tactics have essentially been to press high with a high-line defence, with full-backs acting as inverted full-backs, and then go all out on attack. However, it can backfire if teams enter a low block and catch them in a counter. Basically, that's how Arsenal and Newcastle overcame Spurs this season, and Brentford will most likely do the same. 

Injury and changes

Tottenham could be without Richarlison and Yves Bissouma this weekend, though the latter may pass a late fitness test. Postecoglou made several changes to his starting eleven for this week's Cup game against Coventry. However, one expects the coach to field the same 11 that faced Arsenal over the weekend.

Stats that matter

Tottenham are ranked the best in ball possession with 68% averaging 15.8 shots per game. The Lilywhites score an average of 1.50 goals per match with a shooting accuracy of 40%. Heung-Min Son is the top scorer with two goals. Both Cristian Romero and Pedro Porro have one goal apiece. The team averages 1.8 saves per game, the worst in the season. They have conceded an average of 1 goal per match.  

Tottenham Starting Lineup: G.Vicario (GK); I.Udogie, C.Romero, P.Porro, M.v.d.Ven (Defenders); J.Maddison, D.Kulusevski, R.Bentancur (Midfielders); H.Son, D.Solanke, B.Johnson (Forward)

Brentford FC Preview

Given the Bees' schedule, the results thus far have been predictable. They had two wins (against Crystal Palace and Southampton) and two losses (to Cityzens and Liverpool). The contests they lost were hardly one-sided. However, they would have gleefully accepted a 1-1 draw against City if it hadn't been for Pep Guardiola's astute tactics, which won City the game. However, against a faltering Tottenham Hotspur, the Bees will relish their chances of taking all three points. 

The Bees' greatest strength entering the Spurs game is their in-form front line of Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo. They are more than capable of attacking Spurs on the counter, which they will most likely do for the majority of the game. However, the Bees will be careful of crosses, as they frequently concede a lot from them. Furthermore, the Spurs have completed 106 crosses, the highest of any team this season.

Injury concerns

Yoane Wissa was substituted before halftime in Brentford's match against Manchester City and will be evaluated. Gustavo Nunes and Josh Dasilva aren't scheduled to return from injury until October and November, respectively. Matthias Jensen is also ruled out of this game. Rico Henry is set to return this month, but this game should arrive too soon.

Stats that matter 

Brentford are ranked fourth last in ball possession with 41.8% averaging 11.2 shots per game. The Bees score an average of 1.50 goals per match with a shooting accuracy of 42%. Both Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo are the top scorers with three goals each. The team averages 5.5 saves per game, the best in the season. They have conceded an average of 1.50 goals per match.  

Brentford Starting Lineup:  M.Flekken (GK); S.van den Berg, E.Pinnock, K.Ajer, N.Collins, K.Lewis-Potter (Defenders); C.Norgaard, M.Damsgaard, V. Janelt (Midfielders); Y.Wissa, B.Mbeumo (Forward

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC vs BRENTFORD FC
Winning Prediction

The head-to-head numbers and scores from the last five encounters between the teams indicate that this will be a close fight. However, the Bees have only won once in their last six Premier League games against Tottenham. In addition, they have lost 12 of their previous 16 league away games, including two this season. Brentford might take heart from the fact that Tottenham have lost seven of their past eleven Premier League games.

Meanwhile, the last four meetings between the teams have ended with a margin of at least four goals. Given their history between the sides, we estimate an xG of 3.5/4 in this contest. Thomas Frank is an astute tactician. If Postecoglou isn't smart with his tactics, the Bees could take advantage. Having said that, we expect Tottenham to win this match.

Tottenham Hotspur to win (3-1)
