Brentford expected starting XI vs Tottenham: Two changes and big Christian Eriksen decision made

Brentford will take on Tottenham hoping to continue their recent fine form but all eyes will be Christian Eriksen who is set to start against his former side.

The Bees have won five of their last six matches in the Premier League and go into the game against Spurs with no threat of relegation after they beat Watford last weekend in a gripping encounter at Vicarage Road.

Thomas Frank has done a brilliant job in not only keeping the Bees up but threatening a top half finish in what is their very maiden season in the the top flight.

It’s been a remarkable turn of events for the west London club who looked in danger around Christmas but the signing of top midfielder Christian Eriksen has coincided with a fresh energy and renewed positive results.

For Spurs a defeat to Brighton last weekend was eased by Arsenal’s fall at Southampton- but the Gunners have picked themselves up evidenced by their 4-2 away at Chelsea.

Tottenham know they can not afford to drop points if they are to still keep that prestigious fourth position with Mikel Arteta’s Gunners closing down on them.

Brentford manager Thomas Frank has spoken about how intense the Premier League is and a few wins can take you places but he knows that this is a special season and they will try to finish as high as they can and make history along the way.

With both Ivan Toney and Yoane Wissa looking sharp and playing with a smile on their faces, both are likely to start and will be assisted by the creative and effective Christian Eriksen who continues to prove what a class midfielder that he is.

So with everything pointing to an exciting game, here is the team Thomas Frank is expected to put up against Antonio Conte’s men.
