Tottenham Hotspur vs Brentford Preview and Prediction.
This coming Saturday is the start of Gameweek 37 of the 2022–23 Premier League season. This weekend’s action will begin with a match between Tottenham and Brentford. Both teams eager to earn three points to advance their European aspirations.
Tottenham Hotspur will be eager for the 2022–23 campaign to come to an end. Given that Antonio Conte was in charge at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the North London club entered the season with optimism and hope. After the World Cup break, however, things began to fall apart. Because the Italian tactician was unable to get the best performance from the team.
Brentford expects to finish in the top half of the standings in 2022–23.. Despite having one of the lowest budgets in the Premier League, Thomas Frank’s Bees are still making significant progress. If results go their way in the next ten days, the campaign could still end with a European qualification.
Team News and Strategies
Tottenham Hotspur
Prior to his team’s most recent game, Ryan Mason welcomed a good update on team news. Three members of the first team for Tottenham Hotspur will be unavailable against Brentford on Saturday.
The good news is that Japhet Tanganga and Eric Dier should have fully recovered from their respective injuries. Only Hugo Lloris (thigh), Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring), and Rodrigo Bentancur (knee) will remain out injured after the duo returns.
Fraser Forster fills in for Lloris in goal, with Tottenham setting up in a 3-4-2-1 formation in front of him. Lloris may have played his last match for Tottenham in the interim. The North London club is willing to let him leave in the summer. Another player who will depart at the end of the campaign is Lucas Moura.
Regarding the midfield group, Oliver Skipp has clinched a starting position next to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. The two will also try to maintain order in the park’s center so that the three assailants can freely express themselves. Additionally, Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min will join Harry Kane in the final third as he leads the Tottenham attack.
Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Forster; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Porro, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Davies; Kulusevski, Son; Kane
Brentford
Thomas Frank’s preparations for the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium are being hampered by a new worry, unlike his counterpart in the Tottenham dugout. Four first-team players won’t be available to the Brentford manager on Saturday.
Ivan Toney is the most recent absentee; the English striker is serving an eight-month suspension for repeatedly breaking betting regulations. Toney has joined Christian Norgaard (Achilles), Keane Lewis-Potter (knee), and Pontus Jansson (thigh) on the sidelines.
Thomas Strakosha is healthy and available this weekend, so that is good news. Although David Raya is the preferred goalkeeper, the Albanian international will not start. A 3-5-2 formation will be used by Brentford in front of him against Tottenham.
Ben Mee and Ethan Pinnock, the central defensive unit’s regular starters, should be joined by Mathias Jorgensen. For the majority of the game, the trio will try to stay together and contain Harry Kane and the Tottenham attack.
In the interim, a midfield trifecta will be set up in the middle of the park. The three midfielders should be Vitaly Janelt, Mathias Jensen, and Frank Onyeka as they attempt to maintain balance in the middle of the field.
The two wingbacks should be Aaron Hickey and Rico Henry. With Henry in particular providing the creative spark from the left flank. The two strikers should be Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa. It will be their responsibility to fill Toney’s gap in the final third.
Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Raya; Zanka, Mee, Pinnock; Hickey, Onyeka, Jensen, Janelt, Henry; Mbeumo, Wissa
