Tottenham Hotspur make the short trip to the Gtceh Community Stadium to face Brentford in the opening gameweek of the 2026/27 Premier League season.
The Bees concluded their pre-season preparation with a 7-0 victory over Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt, and they're seemingly well set to push for a European place after narrowly missing out in the 2025/26 campaign.
After back-to-back 17th placed finishes in the top-flight, Spurs simply have to improve under the stewardship of Roberto De Zerbi -- who steered the club to safety upon his arrival last term.
Having managed to avoid any significant departures in the summer transfer window, Keith Andrews has named a recognisable Brentford XI.
New arrival Mamadou Sangare -- who starred in pre-season upon his £41m switch from Lens -- gets the nod in midfield, while prolific marksman Igor Thiago expectedly leads the line.
In spite of a productive window from Tottenham, injuries means that De Zerbi is still dealt selection issues heading to West London.
Archie Gray will hold down the fort at right-back in the absence of the injured Pedro Porro. Summer signings Maroc Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke start alongside one another at the heart of defence, with Micky van de Ven sidelined through injury.
Lucas Bergvall, who has been linked with a move away from the club, starts alongside Connor Gallagher and Sandro Tonali in midfield, with Mateus Fernandes only fit enough for the bench.
