Brentford vs Tottenham

Brentford will host Tottenham Hotspur at the Brentford Community Stadium as the Premier League returns to action on Monday. Brentford seem to be beating the second-season syndrome so far, as they currently sit comfortably in midtable, closer to a European place than they are to the relegation zone. A shocking and incredible victory at Etihad before the World Cup, will be a good pickup point for the Bees as they seek to continue pushing on and avoid being dragged back into the battle for survival. Meanwhile, Tottenham have made their best start to the campaign and they went into the World Cup break sitting inside the coveted top four places, three places above fifth-placed Man United. They picked up a thrilling 4-3 victory over Leeds in their final fixture before the break and they will be looking to pick-up where they left off with a positive result on Monday.
