Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur news: Christian Eriksen to take centre stage against former club

The Bees made it three straight victories on Saturday when Pontus Jansson's last-minute header secured a 2-1 win at Vicarage Road and plunged second-bottom Watford deeper into relegation trouble.

Thomas Frank's men are currently in 12th position on 39 points and have five games remaining this season to push for a top-half finish.

The west London side trail Manchester United in sixth by 15 points in an unlikely end-of-season bid to reach the Conference League qualifiers.

Tottenham blew a glorious chance to strengthen their top-four claims when losing 1-0 to Brighton last time out - failing to register a shot on target - but remain in the coveted final Champions League spot, level on points with rivals Arsenal, because of a superior goal difference.
