How to watch Brentford vs Tottenham : TV details and kick off time for Premier League fixture

Ange Postecoglou will kick off his reign as Tottenham boss with an away game against London rivals Brentford.

The former Celtic manager is hoping to improve on Spurs’ disappointing eighth place finish last term and he has added to his team with high-profile signings such as James Maddison and Micky van de Hen.

But he will be without all-time leading goalscorer Harry Kane who is on the verge of a huge move to Bayern Munich and the North London side will have to adapt to life without their talisman.

Brentford will also have to adapt to life without their top striker at the start of the season and star man Ivan Toney is suspended until January due to betting offences.

The fixture looks set to be an intriguing watch that will attract the attention of fans around the world. But when is Brentford’s home game against Tottenham and how can fans keep up to date with all of the action?
