Tottenham Hotspur vs Brentford: Match Preview, Latest Team News and Score Prediction | OneFootball

Spurs vs Brentford Premier League Preview

The Premier League returns with a subplot heavy enough to dominate the narrative as Spurs welcome Brentford for a London derby rich in irony and pressure. Thomas Frank faces the club he guided into the top flight, now as the man charged with halting a worrying downturn in North London form.

The meeting arrives at an awkward moment for Spurs. One win in eight matches across all competitions has dulled the optimism that initially accompanied the summer rebuild, while home form has been a particular source of anxiety. A solitary league victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium all season, achieved on the opening weekend against newly promoted Burnley, underscores the tension surrounding this fixture. A spirited 2-2 draw at Newcastle on Wednesday steadied nerves slightly, but defeat here would see Spurs potentially slipping beneath Brentford in the Premier League table, adding a sharp edge to an already emotionally charged reunion.

Brentford approach the contest seeking to respond after their recent 2-0 defeat at Arsenal on Wednesday night, another tough away assignment that marked their sixth league loss on the road this season. The Bees have been competitive, yet results in hostile territory have not followed, creating uncertainty over whether they can seize the moment against a fragile Spurs side.

Match details confirmed

Tottenham vs Brentford is scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off on Saturday, December 6, 2025. The match will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

UK viewers will not be able to watch the game live due to the 3pm blackout. Highlights will be available on the Sky Sports app and YouTube from 5.15pm GMT, with Match of the Day airing on BBC One at 10.20pm.

Spurs injury update

Thomas Frank confirmed there are no new injury concerns following the 2-2 draw with Newcastle. Destiny Udogie is fit despite appearing to limp late on at St James’ Park, and Micky van de Ven is expected to return after being rested.

One of the biggest calls remains in attack, where Frank must decide whether to hand a start to Xavi Simons. The summer arrival has not featured from the opening whistle in recent matches against Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Fulham or Newcastle. Dominic Solanke remains sidelined alongside Dejan Kulusevski, while Radu Dragusin could be included in a senior matchday squad for the first time this season.

Premier League prediction

Spurs’ inability to claim home league wins remains the dominant trend, while Brentford’s away struggles under Keith Andrews have limited their climb up the Premier League standings. Yet a familiar script remains tempting. Before Spurs hosted Fulham last weekend, similar doubts surrounded the visitors, who nevertheless surged into a 2-0 lead inside six minutes on the way to their first away league win of the campaign.

Momentum in football is rarely logical, and the belief here is that lightning may indeed strike twice. Brentford look capable of exploiting Spurs’ nervousness, especially if they can establish an early foothold.

Brentford to win, 1-0.
