8 min: Spurs are struggling to get a sniff at the moment. It is important to look at ourselves, and not the other. 26 min: Toney hares after a long pass down the right and looks for Mbeumo in the middle. They come back quickly at Brentford, and Sessegnon wins a corner down the left. The ball clanks off the bar and away. 40 min: Kane attempts a floater from the edge of the box. The ball pings out for a corner. Sessegnon wins one for Spurs on the left. 36 min: Eriksen, quarterbacking from deep, should find Toney clear in an absurd amount of space on the edge of the Spurs box. 35 min: Eriksen strokes a lovely pass down the right channel for Mbeumo, who should smack a first-time effort goalwards, but hesitates.

We've got our final London derby of the season ahead of us this evening, Tottenham Hotspur the visitors to TW8. Victory over the men from North London would ...

He led Juve to the title in all three of his seasons in charge, picking up two Italian Super Cups as well, before becoming Italian National Team coach. Conte won the Premier League during his first season in England and added an FA Cup the following year with a ninth Serie A title coming with Inter Milan last season. - Spurs striker Harry Kane has faced 31 different opponents in the Premier League, with Brentford currently the only one he has not scored against. He could be the 26th different player to score a PL goal against Spurs having previously played for them in the competition, which would be the most of any side (Chelsea also currently 25). The majority of Conte's playing career was spent at Juventus where he made 418 appearances in 13 years. With Ryan Sessegnon returning from injury, there is now a battle at left wing-back between the 21-year-old and Sergio Reguilon. Much like a number of players in the Tottenham side, Reguilon's performance wasn't as solid as expected against Brighton and so Conte may look to give Sessegnon a chance to impress and help build up his match fitness once again"

Brentford vs Tottenham live: Spurs are set to visit the Bees in west London, as they begin their six-game sprint to the finish line and a top-four place.

As for Brentford (39 points), the Bees have won five of their last six games to arrest any fears of relegation, which were quickly becoming real after one win in two months (1W-1D-9L) saw them tumble from mid-table all the way down to 15th. Thomas Frank’s side has since risen to 12th in the table, now just two points out of 9th, as they join six other sides in a meddle mess where five points currently separate seven sides. Tottenham have the more favorable matchup for matchweek 34, with Arsenal hosting Manchester United ( WATCH HERE) on Saturday. Antonio Conte will be demanding a bounce-back performance after watching his side lose 1-0 to Brighton while managing just five shots at home.

LIVE: Follow all the action from Brentford Community Stadium as Brentford and Tottenham go head-to-head in west London.

Brentford have forced successive corners following intense pressure. It remains to be seen where the Dane will be playing his football next term once his Brentford contract expires, with Tottenham one of the clubs linked with a move for him. There will be a good atmosphere at the Brentford Community Stadium and there is of course the Christian Eriksen narrative, with the Bees having won all five matches he's started in for them in recent weeks. Brentford have struck the crossbar through Ivan Toney's header from a corner and it was a moment that was coming because the striker had been left all alone to receive the ball on three previous corners without the visitors learning from their mistakes. Antonio Conte was unhappy with the lack of pace in Spurs' attempts to move the ball around against Brighton and so far this has been no different at the Brentford Community Stadium. Our Brentford correspondent Uzzi Majid and Tottenham correspondents Alasdair Gold and Rob Guest are covering the match with all the action from inside the stadium and reaction from the supporters and media.

Brentford 0-0 Tottenham: Spurs fail to respond to Arsenal's victory earlier in the day with a lifeless stalemate in west London.

If Conte demanded Spurs to awake from their slumber after half-time Lloris was almost caught dozing on the ball inside the opening seconds of the restart by Mbeumo. The goalkeeper then had to be alert to dash off his line and beat Toney to a hopeful clearance downfield – although taking as much player as ball as he did so. He hit the wall, and allowed himself a chuckle that even for his Hollywood story, this would be a scene too far. If Kane’s spectacular overhead kick in the final seconds had creeped inside Raya’s post it would have been the most remarkable of steals. Toney then made a towering leap to meet another Eriksen corner and thunder a header off the crossbar. Son’s deft touches and flicker of feet brought their clearest signs of promise, but he was struggling to find space to make a greater impact. “You know you are Spurs,” was the chant from the travelling support as he took a corner in front of them. Maybe the player they needed was on the pitch, but wearing red and white. It would be Tottenham’s task to rise above it and reclaim the advantage from their north London rivals. Arsenal’s victory over Manchester United saw them climb above Tottenham into fourth in the table earlier in the afternoon, in a contest that was in itself a sample of the chaos that has made this scramble for Champions League qualification so unpredictable. Ivan Toney’s header from Eriksen’s corner that hit the bar and a Pontus Jansson effort cleared off the line by Harry Kane was the closest Brentford came. Brentford would like to extend his deal beyond the end of the season but are certain to face competition from Tottenham. This, perhaps, was the reunion before the return. Injuries elsewhere may have been the reason for Mads Bech Sorensen’s inclusion in the team but it did allow Brentford to roll the trebuchet of his 40-metre long throw, which certainly added to the sense of Tottenham’s unease.
