Tottenham will look to get their top four bid back on track when they travel to Brentford on Saturday evening.

With Tottenham's two main rivals for fourth place, Arsenal and Manchester United, playing each other earlier on Saturday, this is a big opportunity for them to improve their situation. The Bees will be in confident mood after winning their last three games in a row to finally allay any fears of relegation. The loss coupled with Arsenal’s midweek win over Chelsea means that the north London rivals are level on points in fourth and fifth place respectively with six games to go.

Good defensive work from Sessegnon to read Eriksen's glorious, chipped pass for Mbeumo who let it bounce and hence lost the initiative.

"I wish for him and his family the best. "Honestly, no one knew the possibility of Christian coming back to football. Eriksen has been magnificent for Brentford and now clubs who were too timid to do what Brentford did and offer him the opportunity to resume his career are reportedly preparing 'to swoop' in the summer, somewhat parasitically. And welcome to coverage of Brentford vs Tottenham when Christian Eriksen comes up against his old club and manager. He takes it long to Toney who dinks it towards the far post where Mbeumo's flick is guided out for another corner. Alan Smith says he has to be careful with his hands on Kane but the centre-forward doesn't act as if he was fouled. This corner is a floater from Eriksen and easily defended when it enters Kane's defensive zone. Little wonder he barely ever scores as he slices it high, wide and hideous, provoking Brentford supporters to inquire what the effing hell was that quite loudly. The Iran winger Ghoddos is slipping into the right wing-back position when they lose the ball. But the ref played advantage and Tottenham were unable to take it as Sessegnon swung a right-foot cross/shot miles past the far post and out for a goalkick. But Eriksen puts too much on the pass and it skips miles ahead of his striker and out for a goalkick. Thirty second slater Bech has another go but takes this throw short to Eriksen who arrows a cross to the far post.

After Arsenal beat Manchester United in the early game on Saturday, the pressure is on Tottenham when the travel to Brentford.

He led Juve to the title in all three of his seasons in charge, picking up two Italian Super Cups as well, before becoming Italian National Team coach. Conte won the Premier League during his first season in England and added an FA Cup the following year with a ninth Serie A title coming with Inter Milan last season. - Spurs striker Harry Kane has faced 31 different opponents in the Premier League, with Brentford currently the only one he has not scored against. He could be the 26th different player to score a PL goal against Spurs having previously played for them in the competition, which would be the most of any side (Chelsea also currently 25). The majority of Conte's playing career was spent at Juventus where he made 418 appearances in 13 years. With Ryan Sessegnon returning from injury, there is now a battle at left wing-back between the 21-year-old and Sergio Reguilon. Much like a number of players in the Tottenham side, Reguilon's performance wasn't as solid as expected against Brighton and so Conte may look to give Sessegnon a chance to impress and help build up his match fitness once again"

LIVE: Follow all the action from Brentford Community Stadium as Brentford and Tottenham go head-to-head in west London.

Brentford have forced successive corners following intense pressure. It remains to be seen where the Dane will be playing his football next term once his Brentford contract expires, with Tottenham one of the clubs linked with a move for him. There will be a good atmosphere at the Brentford Community Stadium and there is of course the Christian Eriksen narrative, with the Bees having won all five matches he's started in for them in recent weeks. Brentford have struck the crossbar through Ivan Toney's header from a corner and it was a moment that was coming because the striker had been left all alone to receive the ball on three previous corners without the visitors learning from their mistakes. Antonio Conte was unhappy with the lack of pace in Spurs' attempts to move the ball around against Brighton and so far this has been no different at the Brentford Community Stadium. Our Brentford correspondent Uzzi Majid and Tottenham correspondents Alasdair Gold and Rob Guest are covering the match with all the action from inside the stadium and reaction from the supporters and media.

Today is a hiccup but we have no time to feel sorry for ourselves. We have to go again next weekend. "We know what's at stake.

KIERAN GILL: If you want to finish in the Premier League's top four, going two games without a single shot on target isn't the smartest strategy.

But every position gained in the league helps your finances big time... By the by, Harry Kane has scored against 30 of his 31 Premier League opponents. That had to change in the second half. Interesting shape for the hosts. Brentford went on the attack and thought they'd scored after an hour when Mads Roerslev's cross was flicked on by Jansson. It was heading in until Kane, having retreated to his own goal line, cleared it. 'Now we have to try to prepare for the last five games in the best possible way and stay in this race. Missed any of the action? Either side might have stolen the win in stoppage time. Rodrigo Bentancur was the man who skied it, with Kane and Son having barely had a sniff of the opposition goal. Knowing they need not fear the drop, Frank's side can give it a go in games such as this. Though there were hugs and handshakes galore with Kane, Dier and Ben Davies in the tunnel beforehand, that didn't mean he would go easy on them. Thomas Frank's side hit the woodwork twice through Ivan Toney but this draw still took them up to that coveted 40-point mark.

Brentford 0-0 Tottenham: Spurs fail to respond to Arsenal's victory earlier in the day with a lifeless stalemate in west London.

If Conte demanded Spurs to awake from their slumber after half-time Lloris was almost caught dozing on the ball inside the opening seconds of the restart by Mbeumo. The goalkeeper then had to be alert to dash off his line and beat Toney to a hopeful clearance downfield – although taking as much player as ball as he did so. He hit the wall, and allowed himself a chuckle that even for his Hollywood story, this would be a scene too far. If Kane’s spectacular overhead kick in the final seconds had creeped inside Raya’s post it would have been the most remarkable of steals. Toney then made a towering leap to meet another Eriksen corner and thunder a header off the crossbar. Son’s deft touches and flicker of feet brought their clearest signs of promise, but he was struggling to find space to make a greater impact. “You know you are Spurs,” was the chant from the travelling support as he took a corner in front of them. Maybe the player they needed was on the pitch, but wearing red and white. It would be Tottenham’s task to rise above it and reclaim the advantage from their north London rivals. Arsenal’s victory over Manchester United saw them climb above Tottenham into fourth in the table earlier in the afternoon, in a contest that was in itself a sample of the chaos that has made this scramble for Champions League qualification so unpredictable. Ivan Toney’s header from Eriksen’s corner that hit the bar and a Pontus Jansson effort cleared off the line by Harry Kane was the closest Brentford came. Brentford would like to extend his deal beyond the end of the season but are certain to face competition from Tottenham. This, perhaps, was the reunion before the return. Injuries elsewhere may have been the reason for Mads Bech Sorensen’s inclusion in the team but it did allow Brentford to roll the trebuchet of his 40-metre long throw, which certainly added to the sense of Tottenham’s unease.

Antonio Conte has named the Tottenham Hotspur team that he believes can get the job done at Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday.

It is natural in the first season, playing against some of the best players and best teams in the world, that you step up your game. Then if he has two good tens, like he does in Son and Kulusevski then he plays in that 3-4-3. There are nine other players in the team but if we can take out their main threats that will be a big thing for us. I know we are difficult to play against and I know that Conte knows that. I was thinking about the three-and-a-half years I have been here, and I don’t think we had that many last-minute winners. Every staff member and every player work so hard to make us compete in the best league in the world and then we managed to win five out of six.
