Tottenham lost to Brighton last weekend, but with Arsenal and Manchester United also going through a tough patch of form, Spurs remain in a good position to clinch fourth.
However, if Antonio Conte’s men are to secure that final Champions League spot, they will have to improve on their performance against the Seagulls last week as they come up against Brentford on Saturday.
The Bees are all-but-safe in the Premier League this season, but after claiming scalps such as Chelsea and Arsenal’s already this term, Spurs would be foolish to underestimate Thomas Frank’s newly-promoted outfit.
With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Tottenham’s starting XI for this one.
We think that Conte will make just one change from the team that lost to Brighton.
The single change is at left-wing-back where Ryan Sessegnon comes in for Sergio Reguilon after the Spaniard’s underwhelming performance last weekend.
There are cases to be made for more changes to this side, but in all honesty, Spurs lack the real quality in depth to justify swapping out many of these players. Especially as injuries to Matt Doherty and Oliver Skipp persist.
The midfield pairing of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur keep their spots, meaning that Harry Winks remains on the bench, despite coming on as a substitute last weekend.
Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son and Dejan Kulusevski are once again trusted to lead the attack.
