Tottenham Hotspur take on Brentford in the Premier League in a match that promises to be crucial in the battle for Champions League qualification.

Spurs have won five of their last seven Premier League games since exiting the FA Cup in March to put their top-four bid on track under Antonio Conte.

However, a 1-0 loss to Brighton last weekend instead opened the door to rivals Arsenal and Manchester United – those teams meeting at the Emirates today.

Brentford, meanwhile, have woken up from their winter slump to win five of their last six games and move away from the Premier League relegation zone. Their form has been inspired by Christian Eriksen, who is due to face his former club Spurs for the first time today, with the Bees winning all five games in which the Denmark international has started.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of tonight’s game.

When is Brentford vs Tottenham?

The game kicks off at 5.30pm BST on Saturday April 23 at Brentford Community Stadium.

How can I watch it?

It will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage starting at 5pm.

What’s up with the team?

Brentford defender Ethan Pinnock has been ruled out after picking up a hamstring injury at Watford last weekend. Sergi Canos is also absent but Frank Oyenka could return.

Tottenham have no new injury concerns but remain without Matt Doherty, Oliver Skipp and Japhet Tanganga. Antonio Conte could name a squad unchanged from last time.

Planned compositions

Brentford: Raya; Ajer, Jansson, Sorensen, Henry; Janelt, Norgaard, Eriksen; Mbeumo, Toney, Wissa

Tottenham: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Reguilon; Son, Kane, Kulusevsky

Odds

Brentford: 3/1

Draw: 5/2

Tottenham: 10/11

Prediction

Brentford have made life difficult for most of the top sides this season – although they only have the first win over Arsenal and the draw against Liverpool to prove it – and their recent form is impressive. Thomas Frank’s side are approaching ‘on the range’ territory, however, and a Tottenham side who need an answer and with plenty more to play for should have the advantage. Brentford 1-3 Tottenham
