After six weeks without a Premier League match, we now get 30 of them in the space of 11 days.

The action gets underway at the Brentford Community Stadium at 12:30 GMT, with Tottenham Hotspur making the cross-capital trip to west London.

The Bees have lost only one of their seven home matches this season, a 3-0 reverse to Arsenal in September.

Three wins, three draws and three clean sheets, along with 13 goals scored, have arrived in their other half-dozen home fixtures.

Goals tend to follow Spurs around on their travels, with 10 scored and as many conceded in their seven away matches.

But this corresponding fixture last season ended, you guessed it, 0-0.

As for the all-important team news, Antonio Conte is able to call upon many of the Spurs players who were away at the World Cup.

Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Eric Dier and even Ivan Perisic, who was in action for Croatia just nine days ago, all make the starting XI today.

As previously advertised, however, Hugo Lloris is only on the bench and Cristian Romero isn’t available for selection after their involvement in the World Cup final.

Fraser Forster and Japhet Tanganga get rare starts in their places.

Brentford’s last league game was a win over Manchester City in mid-November and there are unsurprisingly not many changes to that starting XI.

Christian Norgaard replaces Frank Onyeka in Thomas Frank’s one and only alteration.

Ivan Toney is available for selection and starts, despite an FA charge hanging over his head.

GAMEWEEK 17 LINE-UPS

Brentford XI: Raya, Pinnock, Mee, Jorgensen, Henry, Jensen, Janelt, Norgaard, Roerslev, Toney, Mbeumo.

Subs: Cox, Goode, Da Silva, Wissa, Jansson, Damsgaard, Canos, Ghoddos, Lewis-Potter.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Forster, Doherty, Lenglet, Dier, Perisic, Bissouma, Hojbjerg, Tanganga, Son, Kulusevski, Kane.

Subs: Lloris, Royal, Sanchez, Davies, Sessegnon, Matar Sarr, Skipp, Gil, White.

    Toney gambles at the back post and it pays off

  11. FantasyTony

    Great header by Kane to be fair

  12. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Kane always scores!

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Yet people still don't pick him!

    F**k

    I've been having trouble sleeping of late. Tuned in for Sp*rs and was asleep within 10 minutes.
    I've missed the premier league.

  15. tokara
    • 11 Years

    Never doubt him

  16. Baps Hunter

    Kane to KdB went as expected

    1. dansmusen
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Did the same but I feel its a good move still.

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Haaland Kane KDB

      1. Utopsis
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Haaland Kane KDB Salah

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 18 days ago

          Salah is massively overpriced

          1. Sandy Ravage
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 18 days ago

            Salah is the most dispensable of the Fourmium

          2. Utopsis
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 18 days ago

            We'll see

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Good call - glad a goal for Kane decision - will be able to assess once KDB GW17 completed

  17. Steve The Spud

    Brilliant header

  18. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      No but have Haaland too 🙂

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Southga… no sorry

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Both will be banned soon

    4. Gross Blank Point
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      I had them both until last night but his ban coming up was too much so swapped him back out for Darwin.

    5. Utopsis
      • 5 Years

      My rival

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      I was, but hoped, as I told earlier, never give up after the first half

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 18 days ago

  21. Tcheco

    Kane is inevitable. Lethal player

  22. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Just like that Kane on for a 9 pointer. Love him.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      He won't get any baps but he will get his customary 90th minute YC

    Damn i should have bought Kane!

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      I had him in all of my drafts, but chickened it out and went for KdB + Cancelo over him.

  26. Sandy Ravage
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Perfect result for Kane owning Newcastle fans

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      I'll take that

  27. Nightcrawler
