‘Bit drab’ – Mark Lawrenson shares his Brentford v Spurs score prediction

Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson has shared his prediction ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League match against Brentford on Boxing Day.

After the season was put on ice due to the World Cup taking place in Qatar, the focus shifts back to the English top flight with Tottenham heading into the fixture currently fourth in the table.

The 65-year-old has tipped Tottenham to fail to take all three points at the Brentford Community Stadium and will instead have to settle for a point against Thomas Frank’s side.

With three defeats and three wins in their last six Premier League matches, Antonio Conte’s side certainly need to show more consistency as they head into a hectic winter period of games.

Lawrenson told Paddy Power: “All eyes will be on Harry Kane, won’t they? Brentford only had a handful of players away at the World Cup so they’ll be well-prepared.

“I’m going to do for a 1-1 Draw in this, the early kick-offs are always a bit drab. Brentford had a great result against Manchester City last time but that’s old news now. It’s almost like starting a new season.”

Tottenham need to return to winning ways to build confidence following the World Cup, the race for a top-four finish looks set to be even more competitive than usual following the emergence of Newcastle and the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal in respectable form.
