Although Thomas Frank's team earned all three points thanks to a goal from Ivan Toney in the 98th minute, Brentford's win over Man City in their most recent match was perhaps overlooked as attention shifted to the World Cup following the previous round of games.
Due to a record of four wins, seven draws, and four losses in their first 15 games of the 2022–23 season, the outcome moved the Bees into tenth place in the standings with 19 points.
The Bees made the announcement on Saturday that Frank had signed a new five-year deal that will keep him with the team until June 2027. Since the football team appears to be on the right path, this is an exciting time to be a part of them.
In the Premier League, Tottenham and Leeds played a seven-goal thriller before the season was stopped for the World Cup. Leeds led 1-0, 2-1, and 3-2 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Rodrigo Bentancur, on the other hand, scored twice in the game's final ten minutes to give Antonio Conte's Spurs a 4-3 victory. Tottenham is currently fourth in the standings, three points ahead of fifth-place Manchester United, who still have a game in hand, and one point behind third-place Newcastle United.
Spurs are currently in a good spot in the table despite their struggles this season. In order to advance to the North London Derby against Arsenal on January 15, they will need to win their next three league matches against Brentford, Aston Villa, and Cryst al Palace.
Possible Lineups
Manager Frank claims that Pontus Jansson, who hasn't played for Brentford since the beginning of October due to a hamstring problem, is now eligible for selection. Aaron Hickey, Thomas Strakosha, and Kristoffer Ajer continue to miss games despite improving their injury recovery.
According to Tottenham manager Conte, Hugo Lloris, who represented France in the World Cup final, will start against Brentford on the bench. Fraser Forster has already been announced to start in goal. While Cristian Romero is not available for this game, Ivan Perisic, who helped Argentina win the World Cup, has resumed training and could start. Bentancur and Richarlison have both been ruled out of the competition, and Ryan Sessegnon's status is still up for debate.
Brentford possible line-up: Raya; Jorgensen, Pinnock, Mee; Rasmussen, Onyeka, Janelt, Jensen, Henry; Mbeumo, Toney
Tottenham Hotspur possible line-up: Forster; Dier, Lenglet, Davies; Doherty, Hojbjerg, Bissouma, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
