Tottenham Hotspur will be aiming to do a Premier League double on Brentford when they travel to the Gtech Community Stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur will look to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League on New Year’s Eve when they travel to the Gtech Community Stadium to face Brentford.
A goal from Archie Gray in the first half became the difference between Spurs and Crystal Palace on Sunday. It was a gritty, hard-fought three points at Selhurst Park, allowing Thomas Frank and Co. to return to winning ways and climb up to 11th in the table.
The win over Crystal Palace would have given Thomas Frank some breathing space after pressure had intensified with consecutive league losses. Now, the Dane must be eyeing a league double over his former club Brentford, having beaten them comprehensively 2-0 at home at the start of December.
Meanwhile, Brentford are on a three-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League, winning their last two games. The Bees smashed Bournemouth 4-1 at home last weekend, with Kevin Schade scoring a hat-trick, and moved up to eighth in the table- six points behind fourth-placed Liverpool.
When and where will Brentford vs. Tottenham take place?
Brentford will welcome Tottenham at Selhurst Park on Thursday, 1 January 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 pm (UK time).

Team News for Brentford and Tottenham
Starting with the hosts, Sepp van den Berg missed the game against Bournemouth with a knock but could return in midweek. Josh DaSilva, Fabio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo are all out injured, while Dango Ouattara and Frank Onyeka are unavailable due to their participation at the AFCON.
As for Tottenham, Cristian Romero is available after serving a one-game ban. Xavi Simons is still suspended for two more games, and there are five Tottenham players who are walking a yellow card tightrope heading into this fixture. Lucas Bergvall is touch-and-go after being forced off with a groin injury against Palace.
Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma are away at AFCON duty. Destiny Udogie has been ruled out with a hamstring injury until the New Year, so it will be interesting to see whether he is fit enough to make the bench against Brentford. On a positive front, Radu Dragusin got some minutes off the bench in the win over Palace after spending 11 months out due to an ACL injury.
TTLB prediction for Brentford vs. Tottenham
Brentford have gained momentum recently with two wins and a draw. They have been a very difficult side to play against at the Gtech Community Stadium, and the Keith Andrews-managed team’s set-piece prowess will test Spurs.
The Lilywhites, on the other hand, were lucky that Palace were not ruthless in front of goal in the first half. Credit to the players for defending very well in the second half after Gray’s goal in the 42nd minute, doing enough to protect the lead and keeping a valuable clean sheet. This should give Frank’s men some much-needed confidence heading into this London derby.
Score prediction: Brentford 2-2 Tottenham
