Tottenham Hotspur visits Brentford in West London, aiming for a strong start to 2026.
Manager Thomas Frank returns to his former club for the first time since joining Spurs. The match holds emotional significance as Tottenham looks to rise from their current 13th place in the league.
Tottenham comes off a narrow 1-0 victory against Crystal Palace, with teenager Archie Gray playing a key role. He is expected to keep his position in the midfield. However, Spurs have faced challenges in January in the past, so Frank will need to motivate the team to disrupt Brentford’s home advantage.
