How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Brentford

How Tottenham could line up against Brentford

Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte has no fresh injury concerns to work around for Saturday's Premier League London derby with Brentford.

The Italian continues to cope without long-term absentees Japhet Tanganga and Matt Doherty, while Oliver Skipp's groin issue will also render the England Under-21 international unavailable.

Tottenham's defensive absentees have not affected their formula at the back, as Eric Dier, Ben Davies and Cristian Romero protect Hugo Lloris once again.

Emerson Royal's spot on the right is seemingly safe, but a fit-again Ryan Sessegnon is in with a strong chance of demoting Sergio Reguilon to the bench this weekend.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur continue in the engine room amid Skipp's injury woes, although the Englishman has just signed a new deal at the club until 2027.

Dejan Kulusevski, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min failed to register a single shot on target in last weekend's defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, but their places are not in any danger whatsoever.

Out of all the 31 teams he has faced in the Premier League, Brentford are the only side that Kane has failed to score against, with Son and a Sergi Canos own goal seeing the Lilywhites win 2-0 at home back in December.

Tottenham possible starting lineup: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
