Tottenham Hotspur hosts Brentford FC on Saturday, in a London derby that seems very evenly matched on paper. Just 17 miles separates these two clubs, who both have exactly 19 points on the season.
So it’s a London derby that is as mid-table as it gets! Spurs got off to a great start this season, but have suffered some regression to the mean over the past few weeks.
