[Brentford](https://www.theguardian.com/football/brentford), is chatting to the Amazon Prime team. In Qatar he was superb, the best centre forward in the tournament in ma opinion, but all anyone will remember is the shocking moment when he launched his second penalty over the bar. Both were the subject of unwelcome headlines during the World Cup: Toney for allegedly having 262 flutters too many, Kane for missing a late penalty in England’s quarter-final defeat to France. In fact, these teams finished part one of the 2022-23 season with memorable victories: Brentford won 2-1 at Manchester City, and Spurs thrice came from behind to beat Leeds 4-3. Harry Kane and Ivan Perisic are among the World Cup players who start for Spurs. Maybe the 2022 is the best - but I think 1966 is in there, along with 1954 if you like.” You can have a good tournament – he played really well – but at the same time he missed an important penalty. It’s important now to move on and focus on Tottenham. This is a really good opportunity for Spurs. No depression for Harry Kane, he has already left that penalty miss in the past.” “Faded rugby lines never help, but has the feel of a ground that’s been cut with a pair of scissors.” Forster made a smart reaction save but Janelt gobbled up the rebound from six yards.

LIVE: Follow all the action right here as Antonio Conte's Tottenham side return to Premier League action with a tricky game against Brentford on the agenda.

In goal, Fraser Forster makes his first Premier League appearance in a Tottenham shirt with birthday boy Hugo Lloris on the bench. The problem is at the other end of the pitch the Tottenham defence continue to look shaky and the team is missing Rodrigo Bentancur's industrious presence in the centre of the pitch. Emerson Royal is on the bench and Djed Spence, who has recovered from his recent fever, misses out on the squad but has travelled with Alfie Devine and Brandon Austin as players available in case of illness or injury. Japhet Tanganga's inclusion is a big chance for him, coming in ahead of Davinson Sanchez, with Ben Davies still working his way back to full fitness after his World Cup injury. Despite injuries up front for Richarlison and Lucas Moura, Conte can play his big guns in Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski. It looked to be curling towards goal but was headed over by the wall. Dier makes a mess of a clearance and it goes behind for a corner. Conte said in the week that he hopes Tananga is finally over his injury woes and this is a good chance for him to show that he can get forward to support Doherty as well as Cristian Romero normally can. It's a Tottenham team that bears the aftermath of a mixed week with players returning from the World Cup at different times and illness in the camp for some with stomach problems.

I had to look it up (behind Pop and Klopp obvs) and it's Brentford's splendid Dane Mr Thomas Frank. He's signed a deal until 2027.

"Football gives us the possibility to play in the sport we have a lot of passion (for). "For sure the first period you are sad but then you know that you have to move on. But with a penalty I lost a World Cup against Brazil and I think you live this moment and you are really disappointed. "At the same time, you know football is this. Here is Ian Winrow to set the scene for this one. Club captain Hugo Lloris is rested but Tottingham have a more-than-able deputy in Fraser Forster. “The warmth, support and kindness every time I meet a Bees fan has been amazing. He had a good tournament at the World Cup, he missed an important penalty but that's football. "We will need to be at our best today, a 9/10 or more to get something. From me Alan Tyers and the rest of the Telegraph Sport team, hope you had a happy/tolerable Christmas and perhaps you, like us, are excited to have the Premier League back on a busy Boxing Day of live sport. We need to get into the League quickly. Robyn Cowen and Matt Upson doing the comms for Amazon Prime Video.
