Tottenham
The big news is that Harry Kane (£11.6m) starts the match. The striker will be hoping to put his World Cup woes behind him and continue his fantastic start to the campaign so far.

Brentford were fantastic in the first half and Tottenham poor but the away side cranked up pressure in the second half. Harry Kane was positionally fantastic and should have finished the game with more goal contributions and more points.
