Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank will put his team's Premier League aspirations above his sentimental ties to Brentford when the two teams face off on Saturday. Frank, who spent nine years with Brentford before joining Spurs in June, is under pressure to deliver a home win, having not secured a league victory at the Tottenham Stadium since the opening weekend of the season. The Dane's side has struggled at home, taking just two points from their last six games, and Frank is keen to break the cycle. "In the 90 minutes plus, it's all about one thing – winning the game," he said at his pre-match press conference. Frank's emotional connection to Brentford is undeniable, having led the team back to the top flight for the first time in 74 years in 2021, but he is focused on the task at hand. "It will be a nice timing for us to get the three points on Saturday," he added, emphasizing the importance of a home win. Tottenham's poor home form has continued from the final months of Ange Postecoglou's reign last season, with the team winning only three of their last 21 home league matches. Frank is determined to turn things around, promising a "good performance" and "more penetration" when needed. With a win on Saturday, Spurs can take a crucial step towards improving their home record and securing a vital three points in the Premier League.
