Fixture: Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur Competition: Premier League Kick-off: 20:00 UK time

Thomas Frank has picked his Tottenham lineup vs Brentford, as he looks to get the better of his former club on his return to the Bees’ home ground.

The Tottenham boss managed to steer his side to a win at Crystal Palace last time out, but it only came by the most slender of margins, thanks to an Archie Gray goal in the first half.

It was not enough to make sure Tottenham finished 2025 in the top half of the league table and with seven league defeats already, there remain serious questions over whether Frank is the right manager for Spurs.

With the transfer window now open, Spurs are expected to do business and Frank is looking to offload Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace.

The decision has sparked real debate, but one Tottenham cult figure believes Johnson is just not capable of delivering 20 goals a season.

Experienced Spurs defender Ben Davies is also drawing interest, with French side Nice keen on him.

Tottenham beat Brentford 2-0 in the earlier meeting between the two sides this season and if they cannot grab another three points this evening then they would host Sunderland next out under fresh pressure.

Guglielmo Vicario is between the sticks in the Tottenham lineup vs Brentford, while in defence, Frank decides to play Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence.

The engine room is set to be a key battleground tonight and Frank goes with Archie Gray and Joao Palhinha, while Rodrigo Bentancur also plays.

Mohammed Kudus, Wilson Odobert and Richarlison lead the attacking threat this evening.

If Frank needs to chop and change his Tottenham lineup vs Brentford then he can look to his bench, where options available to him include Mathys Tel and Randal Kolo Muani.
