After a much-changed Tottenham side edged out Coventry in the Carabao Cup, they return to Premier League action with a home clash against Brentford on Saturday.

Spurs left it very late to progress to the fourth round of the League Cup with two goals in the final two minutes earning them a 2-1 victory over the Sky Blues, while the Bees also came from behind to knock out Leyton Orient, winning 3-1 in the same competition on Tuesday.

Team news

After making wholesale changes for the Coventry trip, Ange Postecoglou will bring back his first-team regulars on Saturday, with Heung-Min Son, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski among those expected to be recalled.

Wilson Odobert and Timo Werner were both forced off in midweek with Odobert’s injury the more serious so he is set to be absent, while Yves Bissouma is a major doubt and Richarlison is still unavailable.

The stats

Tottenham have only won two of their last five home league matches.

Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo have both scored three times for Brentford in the Premier League this season.

Brentford have only failed to score in one of their six games in all competitions this term.

Last season, the Bees drew 2-2 at home with Spurs, while the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ended up in a narrow 3-2 victory for the hosts.
