---------------------------
Thomas Frank will manage Tottenham Hotspur for the first time at Brentford on New Year’s Day. Spurs previously defeated Brentford comfortably in North London. However, the London derby reunion promises a tougher challenge for the Europa League winners.

Team Analysis:
Tottenham’s Archie Gray scored the winner against Crystal Palace, ending a five-game away winless streak and becoming the youngest English scorer for Spurs in almost a decade. Despite the victory, Spurs remain below the top half of the Premier League, though their away form is among the best in the league. Brentford, meanwhile, have been strong at home recently but have yet to defeat Tottenham in the Premier League.

Player Situation:
Tottenham face injury and suspension issues with key players like Lucas Bergvall, Xavi Simons, and others unavailable, though Bergvall may recover in time for the derby. Joao Palhinha could step in if needed, while Cristian Romero returns from a ban to bolster the defense. Brentford also have injury concerns, with several long-term absentees and AFCON call-ups affecting squad depth.

Result Prediction:
Tottenham showed resilience against Palace but face an unpredictable challenge at Brentford, where high-scoring games are common. The Lilywhites have historically performed well at the Gtech Community Stadium. However, they may only manage a draw against Andrews’s attacking Brentford side.

Predicted Result: Brentford 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur.
