Frank has already come up against Brentford since becoming Tottenham manager, when his side beat the Bees 2-0 less than a month ago.
But the pressure on the Dane has only increased since then, as Spurs lost 3-0 to Nottingham Forest and then 2-1 to Liverpool.
They did beat Crystal Palace 1-0 in their last outing, albeit inconvincingly, but have still only won three times in their last 10 games in all competitions.
After some poor form of their own Brentford have won their last two games and will come into the game against Tottenham with some confidence.
