Injury problems continue to hurt Spurs but Ange Postecoglou does have some players back
Djed Spence is set to come back into the Tottenham team for their Premier League trip to Brentford
Spence missed last weekend’s home defeat to Leicester and was ineligible for Thursday's Europa League win over Elfsborg.
He is likely to come in at left-back but he could also replace Pedro Porro on the opposite flank.
Micky van de Ven is not expected to play 90 minutes but should start again after returning from a hamstring injury, with Archie Gray likely to be needed next to the Dutchman after Radu Dragusin's injury.
Pape Matar Sarr could drop to the bench after labouring on Thursday, with Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Bergvall also competing for places in midfield.

Mikey Moore could return to the bench despite opening his Spurs account against Eflsborg, with Dejan Kulusevski expected to come back into the front three alongside Heung-min Son and Richarlison.
Moore is set to be joined on the bench by Dane Scarlett and Damola Ajayi, who also scored against Eflsborg.
Antonin Kinsky will be back in goal.
Cristian Romero, Dominic Solanke, Destiny Udogie and Brennan Johnson are among the players who remain sidelined.
Tottenham predicted XI (4-3-3): Kinsky; Porro, Gray, van de Ven, Spence; Bissouma, Bentancur, Bergvall; Kulusevski, Son, Richarlison
Injured: Dragusin, Vicario, Maddison, Odobert, Romero, Udogie, Solanke, Johnson, Werner
