How to watch Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur live: Stream, TV channel, team news, prediction

After a busy summer of remaking the team in Roberto De Zerbi's image, Tottenham Hotspur have to do the hard part of the job now: Win games on the field, beginning with Saturday's trip to west London to face Brentford. A few familiar faces (Cristian Romero, Djed Spence and Joao Palhinha) have already gone and more will still follow, but Spurs moved quickly and decisively to make over their defense and midfield early in the transfer window. Jan Paul van Hecke ($70 million) was signed from Brighton, where he previously played for De Zerbi, and Andrew Robertson and Marcos Senesi signed on free transfers to round out the backline, while the new dynamic duo of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes was paired together in midfield for a cool $250 million. Now it's just the forward line which requires reinforcements, and it shouldn't be long before they arrive with Savinho and Omar Marmoush reportedly both on their way from Manchester City. There is real optimism among Spurs fans ahead of the 2026-27 Premier League season, as the club's manager and board appear to (finally) be singing from the same hymn sheet. A few miles to the west, Brentford have never been anything but copacetic since arriving in the top flight in 2021. Thomas Frank departed (for Spurs) last summer after leading the Bees to the PL and establishing them as a perennial mid-table side over four years, yet they kicked right on under Keith Andrews, finishing 9th and narrowly missing out on European qualification for the first time in club history (due to goal difference). After years of losing their best players to bigger sides (and turning incredible profits in the process), Brentford are virtually unchanged from an outgoing perspective. 36-year-old Jordan Henderson is the only player of significance to have gone, meaning Igor Thiago (22 goals), Kevin Schade (8 goals, 3 assists) and Dango Ouattara (7 goals, 3 assists) are all back and ready to pick up where they left off last season. If midfielder Mamadou Sangare proves to be worth the $56 million that Brentford paid for him, they'll be in middle of the European hunt once again.
