The official Tottenham Hotspur starting line-up for the Premier League match against Brentford has been announced.

Tottenham Hotspur are set to begin their 26-27 Premier League campaign with a game against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Tottenham will be hoping for a strong start to their league campaign after going unbeaten during their pre-season summer camp.

The Lilywhites’ record from opening matches in the Premier League will leave them feeling confident of their chances of walking away with a victory, although Brentford would be no pushovers.

The Bees themselves have lost just once in their last five matchweek one outings, while Spurs have a record of six wins, three draws and one defeat in their last ten opening day fixtures.

Tottenham confirmed XI versus Brentford

Roberto De Zerbi has now named his starting XI for the new season ahead of this evening’s encounter against Keith Andrews’ men.

Spurs still have a few injuries to contend with. Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus, Wilson Odobert and Xavi Simons are all out of contention for today’s encounter.

Micky van de Ven also misses out today because of a minor issue, while James Maddison starts from the bench in this one.

The likes of Sandro Tonali, Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi have been handed their Tottenham debuts as De Zerbi chases an opening-day victory.

This is the Tottenham starting XI for their clash against Brentford: Kinsky; Gray (C), Van Hecke, Senesi, Robertson; Tonali, Bergvall, Gallagher; Moore, Richarlison, Tel.

Bench: Dubravka, Danso, Maddison, Udogie, Fernandes, Solanke, Bentancur, Davies, Williams-Barnett.

Spurs need fast start as De Zerbi targets improvement

Managing a fast start here will be ideal for De Zerbi and his team, who can then take the momentum into their next match.

There is a need for a marked improvement from Tottenham after consecutive 17th-place finishes in their last two league encounter.

With just domestic competitions to focus on this season, the expectation is that Spurs challenge for a European place.
