Ones to watch

Christian Eriksen (Brentford)

Just getting onto the pitch has made his return to action following his cardiac arrest for Denmark at last year's Euros successful, but his immense talent and ability to contribute, with a goal and two assists in his last four games, make this the story of the top-flight season.

The Bees have won all five games Eriksen has started, a statistic that should surprise no one.

Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

Always the focus of the opposing defense, Kane didn't score in the reverse fixture, making Brentford the only one of the 32 Premier League opponents he has faced he has not found the back of the net against.

He's been particularly effective in London derbies, registering 50 points, trailing only Thierry Henry in that category.

Previous meetings

In December, Tottenham defeated Brentford 2-0 to win back-to-back league matches under Antonio Conte for the first time.

Alvaro Fernandez denied Lucas Moura ten minutes in after the Brazilian was played in by Harry Kane.

Spurs did take the lead soon after as Heung-Min Son sent in a cross following a short corner that Jansson headed against Sergi Canos that flew into the net.

The South Korean could have extended the hosts' lead with a 20-yard shot if not for a spectacular save by Fernandez.

Tottenham did find a second off of a counter-attack. Kane played in Sergio Reguilon down the left-hand side and his ball across the face of goal was tapped in by Son.
