Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face Brentford in the Premier League today.

Ryan Mason has made four changes for Tottenham’s visit of Brentford with Cristian Romero and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg out through injury. Davinson Sanchez and Yves Bissouma - making his first start since January due to injury - replace the aforementioned duo with Dejan Kulusevski and Arnaut Danjuma recalled while Pedro Porro and Richarlison drop to the bench.

Brentford boss Thomas Frank brings Frank Onyeka into his starting line-up in place of Mikkel Damsgaard. Ivan Toney, who missed last weekend’s win over West Ham with a hamstring injury, begins his eight-month ban for betting breaches.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Janelt looks for a ball over the top to play through Schade but there's too much on it and the ball trickles out for a throw-in on the left side.

It doesn't feel like hyperbole to suggest that today's first half was one of Spurs' best all season. The back four has worked fantastically and the forward line of Son, Danjuma and Kulusevski behind Kane have run Brentford ragged so far. They've had nine shots (5 on target) and should have more than one goal. Brentford looked to have struggled without the focal point of Toney in attack but with only a one-goal deficit and Spurs' track record this year, they are certainly not out of this game. An intriguing second half awaits.

Harry Kane's delightful early strike has given Spurs a 1-0 lead against Brentford as we reach half-time. The Englishman needed just eight minutes to get his goal this game and what a goal it was. Kulusevksi laid the ball into his path from a free-kick and his right-footed effort from the edge of the box flew into the top corner. Royal saw an effort cleared off the line with Son, Danjuma and Kulusevski having chances late on in the half as Spurs impressed in front of their home crowd.
