Tottenham vs Brentford LIVE updates as Bissouma, Kulusevski ...
Hello and welcome to live coverage of Tottenham's Premier League clash against Brentford.
Following a 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa in such an important encounter in the race for Europa League football, Tottenham must immediately bounce back if they want to secure a top-six berth come next weekend.
Brighton & Hove Albion's 4-1 defeat at Newcastle United on Thursday evening has certainly helped them out, but now it is down to Ryan Mason's team to do the business as they look to finish the campaign with European football on the agenda for next term.
It certainly won't be straightforward against their fellow London club in the lunchtime kick-off, though, as the Bees come into the game on the back of three victories in their last four outings.
Tottenham correspondents Alasdair Gold and Rob Guest are covering the match with all the build-up and the action as it happens on the pitch and reaction from the supporters and media.
Scroll down for all of our latest updates from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
