Fixture list throws up chance to build home momentum

[Getty Images] Having guided Tottenham to safety in the last few games of the 2025-26 season, Roberto de Zerbi will be looking to make a positive start to the new campaign and has already seen the club bolster the defence. A trip to Brentford on the opening day will certainly be a game that the north Londoners will be hopeful of getting something from. They have not lost at the Gtech in the Premier league, although four of the five trips have been drawn. The Lilywhites could do with building some home momentum after a rather barren season and a half at that gorgeous stadium, and three of the first five games being at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium helps with that objective. Obviously attention always gets drawn to the dates of the north London derbies, with Arsenal visiting in early December and the reverse fixture coming in May. And after back-to-back 17th-placed finishes, the Spurs fans will be hoping that the trip to the home of the champions has a positive reason for needing points for their club.
