After a 1-0 loss to Arsenal last weekend, Tottenham will be looking to avoid a third-consecutive Premier League defeat when they host Brentford later today.

Two late goals from Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson saved Spurs from embarrassment in midweek, with Ange Postecoglou's side coming from a goal down to win 2-1 against Coventry in the Carabao Cup third round. Next up for the Lilywhites is Brentford in the Premier League, where Spurs will be desperate for three points.

The last four meetings between Spurs and Brentford have guaranteed goals, with at least four being scored each time. Goals from Destiny Udogie, Johnson, and Richarlison secured a 3-2 win over the Bees the last time out.

So, can Spurs get back to winning ways in the Premier League? Let's take a look.

We simulated Tottenham vs Brentford to get a score prediction

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 25 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that Tottenham could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison; Kulusevski, Solanke, Son.

We predict that the Bees could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Flekken; Roerslev, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer; Damsgaard, Norgaard, Janelt; Mbuemo, Schade, Lewis-Potter.

It was a strong start from Spurs in the simulation, and they nearly opened the scoring after six minutes when James Maddison's free-kick was whipped into the box from the left, but after evading everyone, it rattled the post. Not long after, Dominic Solanke struck the bar from a corner, but just moments after, Spurs finally got their breakthrough.

Heung-Min Son surged down the right side of the pitch as Spurs hit the visitors on the break, and his pullback into the box was met by Solanke. The striker used his body to hold off the defender, turn onto his right foot and fire into the roof of the net to make it 1-0.

But, it didn't take long for Brentford to go level, with the Bees scoring just three minutes after Postecoglou's side took the lead. Bryan Mbuemo duped past Destiny Udogie with ease before cutting onto his right, and as he opened up his body to shoot into the far corner, the winger drilled a low strike past Guglielmo Vicario at the near post to level the score.

Spurs were unable to retake the lead in the second half as Brentford defended bravely, and the points were shared in north London.
