Tottenham Hotspur vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face Brentford today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

What a start from Brentford in this game, but going ahead might not be a good thing for them today! The side who scored first have won none of the last four Premier League meetings between these two sides (D2 L2), with Spurs coming from behind to win this exact fixture 3-2 last season.

Spurs look to reply quickly and their first chance of the game comes through Johnson who attacks down the right before cutting the ball back into the middle, but Janelt clears the danger at the expense of a corner kick.

Brentford manager Frank is without forward Yoane Wissa, who scored against champions City but picked up an ankle injury later in that game, and it’s Carvalho, signed from Liverpool, who makes the first league start for his new club instead. The only other change for the Bees from their 2-1 defeat at the Etihad Stadium comes in the midfield, where Christian Norgaard, who was on target against Orient, is replaced by Ukraine youth international Yarmolyuk who partners Damsgaard and Janelt.

Postecoglou maintains the same starting line-up that fell to a narrow defeat to Arsenal in their last Premier League outing with Son, Solanke and Johnson featuring in their front three and Bentancur, Maddison and Kulusevski supporting them from the midfield. Wilson Odobert, who picked up an injury against Coventry in the EFL Cup, misses out on the matchday squad, but Werner recovers in time to find a place among the Spurs substitutes. There is also a return to the bench for Bissouma, who will hope to play a part in the later stages of this contest.
