Tottenham missing 7 key players for Brentford opener

Tottenham travel to Brentford on Saturday without Xavi Simons, van de Ven, Odobert, Kudus, Kulusevski, Solanke and others, while Brentford are also without Van den Berg and Milambo.

What it means

• Tottenham's short-list is decimated: Xavi Simons, van de Ven, Odobert, Kudus, Kulusevski, Solanke all out.
• Brentford also missing Van den Berg and Milambo.
• Bookmakers make Brentford slight favourites (42% vs 33%).

Model read

Tottenham's squad is severely weakened for this opener, with seven key players absent, which notably hurts their attack and creativity; Brentford, despite their own absences, are now clearly favoured.
