Tottenham vs Brentford prediction
Cristian Romero was Tottenham's unlikely savior midweek with the Argentine scoring twice - the second a bicycle kick equaliser in the 95th minute - to earn Tottenham a 2-2 draw against Newcastle at St James' Park.
Thomas Frank, facing off against his former club for the first time, desperately needs his side to get back in the win column here, as they have failed to taste victory in any of their last five games in the Premier League.
Frank's former charges Brentford competed well with league leaders Arsenal on Wednesday but ultimately succumb to a 2-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium.
The Bees are tied on 19 points with Spurs ahead of this fixture, but they have not fared too well on the road recently, losing their last three Premier League away games.
The should offers Spurs some home here. Frank is a man under pressure but we fancy him to inspire his side to a much-needed win on home turf.
