Bees out to inflict more misery on Spurs

Brentford host Tottenham in the Premier League, looking to claim another big scalp at home. The Bees retain some outside hope of qualifying for Europe this season and have generally impressed a the Gtech Community Stadium, so Thomas Frank’s side will no doubt feel confident about winning three points later this afternoon.

Spurs, of course, are in dire League form. Ange Postecoglou is under pressure as a result, albeit the fact his side remain alive in three cup competitions and are dealing with a huge injury crisis do offer some mitigating factors. Still, the Australian will be keen to stop the slide in the League, particularly with another huge week in the cups on the horizon.

Brentford will fancy them favourites here but perhaps the fact Spurs have welcomed back Micky van de Ven will offer Postecoglou a much-needed boost. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog! Dan Kilpatrick will be providing expert analysis from the ground!

How Mbeumo and Wissa became Premier League's best strike partnership

Though his statistics will get no bump for it, Yoane Wissa may have produced the assist of the season last Sunday when he ran across the edge of the box celebrating a Bryan Mbeumo penalty before it had even been scored.

Did his jog, with arms raised, put Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson off? How could he have known his strike partner was going to score, especially given Mbeumo was retaking a penalty he’d originally missed? Did he get caught in the moment before the moment had even happened?
