Brentford welcome Tottenham to the Gtech Community Stadium in what is a must win match for both sides.
The home side have only picked up two wins in their last ten league matches, whilst Tottenham are staring straight down the barrel of five consecutive league defeats for the first time in 20 years.
Brentford beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park in their last outing as they look to venture into the top half of the table and reignite hopes of European football next season.
Meanwhile, Spurs had to rely on their youth as youngsters Dane Scarlett, Damola Ajayi and Mikey Moore all scored in their 3-0 win over Elfsborg as they secured automatic qualification into the knockout rounds of the Europa League.

Team News
Christian Norgaard and Kevin Schade did not complete the full 90 minutes against Palace, but head coach Thomas Frank has stressed that they were both cautionary substitutes.
Winter signing Michael Kayode could be set for a Premier League debut.
Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey, Josh Dasilva, Igor Thiago and Gustavo Nunes all remain sidelined with injuries.
Spurs' injury crisis continues with Radu Dragusin the latest player to be out of the match with injury.
Micky Van de Ven is a much-needed boost as he is able to play after a lengthy injury lay off, whilst Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon are both eligible to play after being unavailable for the midweek Europa League match.
Brennan Johnson, Ben Davies, James Maddison, Wilson Odobert, Dominic Solanke and Destiny Udogie are still part of the large Tottenham cohort that are injured.

Key Players
Brentford
11 goals for the DR Congo international so far in the Premier League. He will be looking to add to his impressive tally against a Spurs side that leak so many goals.
With an average of 0.55 goals per game, he is one of Brentford's main goal threats.
It is highly likely he will cause Tottenham many problems through the middle and expect him to score.
Micky Van de Ven
In a much needed boost for Tottenham, centre back Micky Van de Ven is now fit.
The Dutch defender is a mainstay in the Tottenham back line and will bring lots of pace to a Spurs side and solidity to the side.
With a 63% tackle success and 54 recoveries, he will provide a boost to Tottenham's defence and take the place of a wildly inconsistent Dragusin.
