Current table in the Premier League
According to the Premier League table, the difference between the two teams is currently only 3 points. This round 14 clash is of great importance to both teams and their position in the league table. Brentford have an opportunity to catch up with Tottenham, who are currently number 7 on 19 points. However, the hosts will surely try to grab all three points themselves on Thursday, thus extending the lead in the standings.
Top marksman
Looking at the goalscorer market, it would seem a good idea to side with Pierre-Emile Hoejbjerg. He is one of The Lilywhites players, who is showing decent form right now. He managed to find the back of the net 2 times in his most recent outing. Surely, he will want to add more goals against Brentford.
The visitors will be looking to in-form Ivan Toney to find the net once again, as he has been their main man recently. Ivan Toney netted 2 goals for Brentford in their latest matches.
