Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from "Brentford Community" lost Frank, their long-time manager, and key players last summer. However, not only did they not decline, but they actually improved noticeably. Only additional tiebreakers kept them out of European competitions. Having collected 53 points, the same as Brighton, they ultimately finished ninth.
Their ambitious neighbor poached the Danish manager during that off-season, but he failed in this new project. As a result, the club had to persuade De Zerbi to take over as head coach in spring and save the team from relegation to the Championship. The Italian succeeded, and in the summer, he was given several expensive new signings.
Igor Thiago and company averaged 1.45 goals scored per game while conceding 1.37. Spurs managed just 1.26 goals scored, conceding 1.5 in return.
