Brentford have won just one of their seven Premier League meetings with Tottenham (D3 L3), with all three at the Gtech Community Stadium ending in a draw.

Tottenham are looking to complete the league double over Brentford for the first time, following their 3-1 win against them at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September.

The team scoring first has won none of the last five Premier League meetings between Brentford and Tottenham, with Spurs coming back to win twice, Brentford once, and two draws.

Brentford are the Premier League’s leading scorers on home soil this season (29) but are winless in their last four at the Gtech Community Stadium (D1 L3). The Bees have gone 13 without a clean sheet at home, last having a longer run in the league between November 2003 and April 2004 (14).

Brentford and Tottenham are two of three teams, along with Wolves, whose games have seen 80+ goals in the Premier League this season (83 for Spurs, 82 for Brentford). The Bees have faced the most shots (429) while only four teams have had more shots than Spurs (333).

Tottenham have lost six of their last seven Premier League matches (D1), with no side picking up fewer points since the start of this run on 22 December (1). Spurs haven’t lost five games in a row since a run of six in October/November 2004, which came under Jacques Santini and Martin Jol losing three each. The last Spurs manager to lose five on the bounce was Osvaldo Ardilles in 1994 (seven consecutively).

Tottenham Hotspur have taken more goal kicks that end in their own penalty area than any other side in the Premier League this season (137), with only one of their 169 goal kicks ending in the attacking third of the pitch; Spurs have the highest goal kick success percentage in 2024-25 (96.4%).

There has been average of 3.57 goals per game in Ange Postecoglou’s 61 Premier League games as Spurs boss, the highest ratio of any manager with 50+ games managed (120 for, 98 against). The fewest numbers of games for a manager to both score and concede 100+ goals is 65 by Roberto De Zerbi, with Postecoglou only two goals away from conceding 100 with Spurs.

Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo has been involved in 17 Premier League goals this season (14 goals, 3 assists), with only four players involved in more. The only Bees player with more goals and assists in a Premier League campaign was Ivan Toney in 2022-23 (20 goals, 4 assists).

No player has created more chances in open play in the Premier League this season than Tottenham’s Dejan Kulusevski (51). His average of 2.5 open play chances created per 90 minutes in 2024-25 is bettered by only two Spurs players in a season on record (min. 900 minutes played): Christian Eriksen in 2015-16 (2.6 per 90) and Aaron Lennon in 2010-11 (2.51 per 90).
