Tottenham host Brentford at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Thursday, with both sides having similar seasons so far.
Tottenham are currently 7th in the league, four points off the top 4. Antonio Conte's side have been in inconsistent form of late and will be heading into the game off the back of a shock 2-1 defeat against Mura in the Europa Conference League. They will hope to bounce back with a win against Brentford on Thursday.
Brentford have had a solid first season in the Premier League so far and are currently 12th in the table, three points behind their opponents. Thomas Frank's side will be going into the game off the back of a 1-0 win against Everton last time out.
They will be hoping to take that momentum into the game against Tottenham on Thursday.
Both sides will look to climb up the table with a win and that should make for an exciting matchup.

Tottenham vs Brentford Prediction
It's hard to choose a winner between the two sides given the form that both teams are in.
Tottenham have no new injury worries following their 2-1 loss against Mura last week. Cristian Romero, Giovani Lo Celso and Dane Scarlett are all still out injured.
Brentford will have a host of players missing for the game on Thursday. David Raya, Josh Dasilva, Kristoffer Ajer, Matthias Jorgensen and Julian Jeanvier are all unavailable due to injury.
Neither side have really been in the best form of late and that should come to the fore during the game on Thursday. We predict a well-contested draw, with both teams getting on the scoresheet.
Prediction: Tottenham 1-1 Brentford
