Bees looking to sting Spurs in the Premier League
Brentford host Tottenham in a Premier League London derby on Sunday.
The Bees beat Crystal Palace 2-1 last time out to move up to 11th in the Premier League table and will certainly feel confident against Spurs – particularly at home.
Ange Postecoglou’s side are in dire League form, with Spurs having lost to relegation-threatened Leicester last weekend.
Still, on Thursday, Spurs beat Elfsborg 3-0 on a night where youngsters Dane Scarlett, Damola Ajayi and Mikey Moore all scored.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Brentford vs Tottenham is scheduled for a 2pm GMT kick-off time on Sunday 2 February 2025.
The Gtech Community Stadium in London will host.
TV channel: The game will be broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR.
Live stream: Subscribers will be able to watch on a live stream via the Sky Go App.

Big boost: Micky van de Ven is back for Tottenham

Aaron Hickey is set for a return to Brentford training but this game will come too soon. New signing Michael Kayode is in line for a debut.
Ethan Pinnock, Christian Norgaard and Kevin Schade are all available.
Rico Henry has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, joining Hickey, Josha Dasilva, Igor Thiago and Gustavo Nunes on the sidelines.
Spurs welcomed back Micky van de Ven for their midweek game in a huge boost for Postecoglou. Richarlison and Pape Sarr also started after recent knocks, while Cristian Romero is back in Tottenham training but is unlikely to be risked.
Radu Dragusin has been ruled out for Spurs too, having been forced off injured on Thursday.
Wilson Odobert, James Maddison, Timo Werner, Brennan Johnson, Destiny Udogie, Guglielmo Vicario and Dominic Solanke are all unavailable.
With Brentford strong at home and Spurs in poor domestic form, the Bees look decent value for a victory.
