Michael Kayode's long throws are causing Spurs plenty of problems. Fellow sub Fabio Carvalho tries to meet this one with a bicycle kick but doesn't make enough contact.

Christian Eriksen is on for Manuel Ugarte for the home side.

Nathaniel Clyne and Adam Wharton are replacing Tyrick Mitchell and Will Hughes for the visitors.

Manchester United have attempted 14 shots in this match, which is higher than their season average of 13.1 in the Premier League.

So far though, only two have been on target.

Fabio Carvalho replaces Christian Norgaard for Brentford.

Dane Scarlett throws himself at Dejan Kulusevski's cross but can't reach it.

This place has the ability to come alive.

Even if United get a goal now they could go on to win this game.

Someone has to do something special.

Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix is down. There is nothing in that and the hosts have a corner, which is cleared.

Tottenham's first attack since what feels like 2003 and Son Heung-min wins a corner which they will take their time over.

Tottenham have dealt with crosses very well. Their shape and organisation and their defenders have been in good positions to deal with crosses.

Tottenham have only had one shot on target all game.

Another long throw from Michael Kayode, this one is headed out to Keane Lewis-Potter, who volleys over.

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez looks distraught as he is carried off on a stretcher and play resumes.

Scrappy, ugly and defensive; this Tottenham team have abandoned their 'Angeball' principles entirely in this second half and the away supporters don't mind.

They are 1-0 up and defending their lead doggedly with their backs against the wall.

This is a massive turnaround from when Ange Postecoglou defended his high defensive line and pressing with nine men in the 4-1 defeat to Chelsea last season, saying: "it's just who we are."

But perhaps the Australian manager has finally decided there is a time to just soak up pressure and play for points.

Tottenham came into this match on a run of only one point from seven league matches, including losses in each of their past four league games.

Brentford are pushing for an equaliser but so far the Spurs defence has been well organised and frustrating the hosts in what has been a scrappy, sometimes ugly encounter.

An ugly 1-0 win, full of heart, commitment and desire, is just what Ange Postecoglou needs. Can Brentford change the script with just over 10 minutes of normal time to go?

Dane Scarlett scored his first Tottenham goal for Elfsborg on Thursday in the Europa League.

He scored four goals in 22 games on loan at Oxford but was recalled because he was not getting enough starts.

Here comes Dane Scarlett, who was Oxford United's third-choice striker a couple of weeks ago.

Tottenham bring the youngster on for Richarlison.

Another poor Bryan Mbeumo corner fails to test Tottenham.

Here comes new boy Michael Kayode drying the ball with a towel for a long throw-in. And that is long. It finds a team-mate near the penalty spot.

The stretcher is being brought on for Lisandro Martinez, who has had his fair share of injury issues since joining Manchester United in 2022.

Matthijs de Ligt is being readied to replace him.
