Thomas Frank has full belief that his Brentford side can win their third consecutive London derby.
The Bees play host to Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow and Frank’s side are in sparkling form as they are coming off the back of beating fellow London rivals Chelsea and West Ham United.
Brentford have scored eight goals in their last three games while conceding only two and the Bees boss hopes a packed out Brentford Community Stadium can push his side to victory.

"I expect us to do what we’ve done all season, especially at home, which is to come out flying and dominate in spells. Hopefully we will bring some aggressive high-pressure and dominate on the ball. We very much look forward to it"#BrentfordFC #BRETOT pic.twitter.com/b5zUX5H8tU
"I think it will be a full house. We would like to do that," Frank said. "We are facing Tottenham and they are fighting for a Champions League place.
"This task is the biggest we are facing.”
The game will be doubly special for Bees midfielder Christian Eriksen as he faces his old side for the first time since leaving the club in January 2020.
He added: "He is looking forward to seeing them, but will do his very best to beat them.”

The Brentford boss heaped praise on Spurs manager Antonio Conte who also managed Eriksen at Inter Milan during their 2020/21 league-winning season.
“I say thank you to Antonio. He is a fantastic manager and has been one of the most successful in the past 10 years,” the Dane said.
Frank added that defender Ethan Pinnock who was injured in last week’s win 2-1 at Watford will miss the next few weeks with a hamstring injury, while Mathias 'Zanka' Jorgensen and Frank Onyeka continue to remain absent.
Brentford are going into the game off the back of winning five out of their last six games with Premier League status all but secured for next season as they sit 12th in the table on 39 points.
Ready for Brentford. 👊

Tottenham arrive in West London looking to avenge their shock defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion and they desperately need three points to remain in the driving seat for Champions League football.
