Is Tottenham vs Brentford on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Carabao Cup semi-final tonight
Brentford take on Tottenham in north London tonight as both clubs seek a place in the final of the Carabao Cup.
Tottenham’s last honour came in this very competition thirteen years ago, and with a manager of Jose Mourinho’s trophy-winning pedigree at the helm, it could well be that this term’s Carabao Cup represents the team’s best opportunity to add another piece of silverware since that triumph in 2007/08.
With Championship opposition standing between Spurs and the final – versus either Manchester United or Man City – Tottenham supporters will be optimistic, but Brentford’s qualities should not be overlooked.
The Bees have claimed four Premier League scalps in the competition this season, most recently defeating Newcastle in the quarter-finals.

What is the team news?
The injured Giovani Lo Celso and Gareth Bale will miss out for Spurs, while Matt Doherty is suspended following his red card against Leeds. Erik Lamela and Sergio Reguilon’s Covid-19 rule breaches likely exclude the pair.
Brentford, meanwhile, are expected to field the same XI that beat Bournemouth on 30 December.
Predicted line-ups
Tottenham: Lloris; Aurier, Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Hojbjerg, Sissoko; Moura, Alli, Son; Kane
Brentford: Raya; Dalsgaard, Jansson, Pinnock, Henry; Dasilva, Janelt, Jensen; Mbuemo, Toney, Canos
Odds
Tottenham: 4/9
Draw: 7/2
Brentford: 6/1
Prediction
It would not be a total surprise to see Brentford pull off another upset here – certainly not against a club with Spurs’ history of failing to get over the line. However, Tottenham’s emphatic 3-0 Premier League win against Leeds at the weekend might have come at just the right time. Tottenham 2-1 Brentford.
