Tottenham Hotspur will be reunited with Christian Eriksen tonight when they face Brentford in the Premier League.
Eriksen left Spurs in January 2020 after spending seven seasons at the club, making over 300 appearances and winning the club’s player of the year award on two occasions.
The 30-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest when playing for Denmark at Euro 2020 last summer but has since made a remarkable return to the pitch with Brentford. His form has helped guide the Bees to Premier League safety, with the Bees winning their last five matches in which Eriksen has started.
His old club Tottenham are desperate for a win to boost their top-four hopes under Antonio Conte, as their battle with rivals Arsenal for Champions League qualification goes down to the wire.
Here’s everything you need to know before the match this evening.

The match will kick off at 5:30pm BST on Saturday 23 April at the Brentford Community Stadium.

Prediction
Brentford have made life difficult for most of the top teams this season - even if they only have the opening win against Arsenal and draw against Liverpool to show for it - and their recent form is impressive. Thomas Frank’s side are approaching ‘on the beach’ territory, however, and a Tottenham side in need of a response and with much more to play for should have the advantage. Brentford 1-3 Tottenham
