Brentford head coach Thomas Frank is gearing up his team to face Tottenham on Wednesday night with a specific focus on minimising the threats posed by their opponents’ “all-or-nothing” style.Under the management of Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham has shown resilience and consistency, winning four out of their last six Premier League games. Their recent defeat against Manchester City in the FA Cup fourth-round tie was a close affair, with the opposition eventually breaking through late in the game.##NAJAVA_MECA_7837868##Frank has acknowledged the impressive approach of Postecoglou’s team, highlighting their determination and adaptability regardless of the challenges posed by their opponents. He understands the need for his side to be fully prepared and focused to counter Tottenham’s exciting style of play.”Ange has done a good job at Tottenham in many ways. I like the offensive approach. I like the ‘all-or-nothing’ approach as well. I think it is brave, and you need to be brave to create big things. So that looks good. But no matter what style you have, no matter what you do, there is a lot of strengths – but there is also some weaknesses, so it is up to us to try and minimise the strengths of Tottenham tomorrow.”High intensity is one of main characteristics of Postecoglou’s team – and Frank knows his only chance is to fight fire with fire.”Their high pressure, the way they try to dominate games and how they try to break through teams quite quickly – can we keep that at a minimum? If we can, I think we have a good chance. We come in there with an offensive approach as well. We know we are facing a fantastic team and club, but we know that when we are on it, we can go anywhere and win.”🗣️ “We need to be fantastic defensively.”🐝 Thomas Frank is hoping Brentford can sting Tottenham in their Premier League clash#brentfordfc | #epl pic.twitter.com/3TlIksY8FA— Mirror Football (@MirrorFootball) January 30, 2024 Brentford will receive a boost, as captain Christian Norgaard is set to return to action after missing the past two matches due to a foot injury. However, Brentford will be without on-loan Spurs full-back Sergio Reguilon for the fixture, as he is ineligible to play against his parent club according to the loan agreement.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 22Tuesday22:30 (8.50) Nottingham Forest (4.80) Arsenal (1.43)22: 45 (2.50) Fulham (3.35) Everton (3.05)22:45 (4.60) Luton (3.60) Brighton (1.60)23:00 (1.65) Crystal Palace (3.70) Sheffield United (6.50)23:15 (1.95) Aston Villa (3.60) Newcastle (3.80)Wednesday22:30 (1.70) Tottenham (3.90) Brentford (4.90)22:30 (1.10) Manchester City (11.0) Burnley (18.0)23:15 (1.63) Liverpool (4.20) Chelsea (5.70)Thursday22:30 (2.50) West Ham (3.50) Bournemouth (2.95)23:15 (2.85) Wolverhampton (3.50) Manchester United (2.55)***odds are subject to change
