The final fixture from the first Saturday of the new Premier League season sees Brentford host Tottenham. Spurs took four points off the Bees last season, a rare positive in an otherwise disappointing campaign in which they only confirmed their top-flight status on the final day.
There is growing optimism around the club that after heavy investment during the summer this evening's London derby marks the start of a new Tottenham era. Head coach Roberto De Zerbi can hand out debuts to several new signings, but neither Savinho nor Omar Marmoush have been signed in time to make their bow in west London.
Brentford's home form
Brentford, meanwhile, surprised many after losing Thomas Frank to Spurs last summer. Narrowly missing out on European qualification by virtue of an inferior goal difference, the challenge for Keith Andrews' side is to improve on a ninth-placed finish.
The Bees were strong at home last season, losing just three times, but have won just twice at the Gtech Community Stadium in the Premier League in 2026.
