Tottenham Hotspur are back in Premier League action tonight as they host Brentford just days after the postponed game against Burnley.

Antonio Conte’s men made the trip up to East Lancashire on Sunday but were left disappointed as the game was called off due to snow.

That means Tottenham have at least been able to recharge their batteries ahead of his all-London clash.

This brief break has also given Conte time to think about his side after the dismal 2-1 defeat to NS Mura in the Europa Conference League.

Conte’s men will have to be at it tonight, and here is our predicted lineup for the game against Brentford…

It’s hard to imagine that Conte will veer too far away from the team he picked to face Burnley.

That would mean Hugo Lloris in goal for Tottenham as usual.

Cristian Romero is out for months yet, meaning Davinson Sanchez may be needed as the right-sided centre back.

Sanchez would then join Eric Dier and Ben Davies in the three-man defence, whilst Emerson Royal and Sergio Reguilon are likely to start as the wing backs.

Harry Winks had a slow start against Leeds United in Tottenham’s last Premier League game was was benched for the game against Burnley.

Oliver Skipp was brought back in alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and that is likely to be the case again here.

Lucas Moura, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane have been Tottenham’s attack under Conte, and they will likely get the nod again tonight.

That means the likes of Pierluigi Gollini, Matt Doherty, Japhet Tanganga, Ryan Sessegnon, Winks, Dele Alli, Steven Bergwijn, Tanguy Ndombele and Bryan Gil will be battling for spots on the bench.

Tottenham predicted lineup: Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Reguilon; Lucas, Son, Kane.
