Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action this weekend when they host Brentford in a 3pm Saturday kick-off at N17.
Spurs have received a confidence boost in the shape of a remarkable turnaround in the midweek League Cup trip to Coventry City.
Tottenham were on the brink of going out as they trailed 1-0 as late as the 87th minute, only for Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson to strike and put Spurs through.
Ange Postecoglou’s charges will now look to get their shaky Premier League campaign back on track.
Meanwhile, Brentford will fancy their chances against Spurs in wake of a good start to the season.
The only games they’ve lost so far this term have been against Liverpool and Manchester City.
Chris Sutton has now shared his predictions for Saturday’s game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Chris Sutton backs Tottenham to run out 2-1 winners over Brentford
Sutton, speaking on BBC Sport, acknowledged that it’ll be a tricky game for Spurs against a well-drilled Brentford outfit.
However, the pundit also noted how the Bees will be without Yoane Wissa, who will be a huge miss for them.
Sutton ultimately backed Tottenham to get over the line and record a 2-1 win against Thomas Frank’s side.
“This is a tricky game for Spurs and no-one is surprised anymore by the organisation we saw from Brentford against Manchester City last week,” began Sutton. “Or how devastating they were when they got a chance early on.
“But the Bees are without Yoane Wissa after his injury at Etihad Stadium, and he is a big miss for them.
“My worry for Spurs at the moment is that, this season, they have not been as clinical or creative with the final pass when they get in the final third of the pitch as they have been previously under Ange.
“They will have to be better at that here, but they are at home and I am backing them to get over the line.”
