Ivan Toney has scored 63 goals in 111 appearances for Brentford, but the Bees will have to find another source of goals while the striker serves an eight-month ban for betting offences. Thomas Frank has Yoane Wissa, Bryan Mbeumo and Kevin Schade at his disposal, and he'll be encouraged by the fact that his side won four of the five games Toney missed last season, but a player of Toney's talents would be missed by any team. Brentford beat Liverpool and Man Utd at home last season, and did the double over treble-winning Man City, so they won't be afraid when Spurs make the trip across town today.

Wissa and Mbeumo both start today to fill the Toney-shaped hole, while new signing Mark Flekken is in goal as David Raya finalises his move to Arsenal. Defender Nathan Collins also makes his first start having arrived from Wolves last month. 

Another new era gets underway for Tottenham on Sunday lunchtime, with Ange Postecoglou taking charge of his first competitive game as the new head coach. With no European football on the menu for Spurs this season, the former Celtic boss will have plenty of time to get his ideas across. James Maddison has arrived from Leicester to strengthen their attacking options, while Harry Kane's has departed for Bayern Munich, but there's more hope and optimism around N17 than there has been for some time. Can they get the Aussie boss's tenure off to a winning start in west London?

Postecoglou's first starting XI includes new signings Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie in a back four alongside Royal and Romero, with Vicario in goal and James Maddison pulling the strings in midfield. Richarlison assumes the Harry Kane role up front.

How to watch the Brentford vs Tottenham live stream wherever you are

The Brentford vs Tottenham live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long-term.

Speed, security and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. In our testing, we were impressed by its fast connection times and by its ability to access more than 3,000 services in 160 locations across 94 countries. A 30-day money-back guarantee is another bonus.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Peacock or another service and watch the game.
