It's whipped in towards Ethan Pinnock at the back post but there's just a bit too much height on the cross. Brentford get the throw-in though and can maintain some pressure.

Yves Bissouma is penalised for a foul on Yoane Wissa and it hands Brentford a chance to whip a cross into the box.

What can they do with this?

It's all Spurs again in possession, with Brentford absorbing pressure and looking to spring a counter.

A cross towards Harry Kane almost falls perfectly for the striker but Ben Mee is able to do enough. The hosts have started really brightly.

Kevin Schade does brilliantly to drive in from the left, causing Spurs all kinds of trouble.

He gets the better of Davinson Sanchez and drills in a low cross but Spurs have enough bodies back to cut it out.

It will have a huge impact on his career.

The timing of the ban is strange - it will have an impact of the clubs trying to achieve targets in these next two or three games. To me it would have made sense to have the ban after the end of the season.

It is a ban that I probably expected, I don't think that it is too heavy. We know that you can't do it - the rules are there for every Premier League footballer at the beginning of every season, you are told.

There's also the fact that gambling is promoted so heavily in the sport and plays such a huge part financially in the sport. So then that sticks with me a bit, for someone to be banned for such a length of time [when gambling is so visible].

Brentford have woken up a bit since Tottenham's opener, but they almost find themselves two down!

Harry Kane picks out the run of Son Heung-min, but David Raya comes out and does well to close down the angles. Good save.

That is a Premier League record for Harry Kane, who scores in a 25th different game this season.

It's also his 28th league goal this season.

All the talk before the match was about his future, but it's business as usual as far as Kane is concerned.

"Harry Kane, he's one of our own" was the chant as Tottenham lined up the free-kick and as soon as he hit it, you knew it was in.

This day very much feels like Kane's.

It's his 300th start for the club in the Premier League and with speculation surrounding his future, the home fans are keen to remind him how much they love him.

He enjoyed that just as much as they did, running over to celebrate with the fans to his right.

Now then, Spurs have a free-kick in a useful position here.

Frank Onyeka commits a foul around 25 yards from goal, almost dead central.

Harry Kane stands over it.

A first half-chance for Harry Kane, but there's not enough behind his attempt.

It's nice and open!

It's been mostly Spurs in possession, but Brentford can break so quickly and they show a glimpse of what they'll try to do today with a slick counter that results in Bryan Mbeumo shooting well off target.

I know how much Harry Kane wants the Premier League goalscoring record, he's told me! He's desperate for that.

I get the accusation that he hasn't won a trophy but those goals and those records he has set are his trophies. That's why I see him staying at Tottenham [next season].

It's slightly different to when I returned to Newcastle, as I already had a Premier League medal from my time at Blackburn. But he'll have a statue, he's got the club goalscoring record, he'll have the Premier League goalscoring record, he's had an unbelievable career!

I don't lose sleep because I only ever won one trophy in my career, and I bet Kane will feel the same come the end of his career, [he'll be satisfied].

It's a sunny day down in London and Brentford have got a good crowd with them. They are singing away in the corner. They have plenty to celebrate this season and with nothing in jeopardy, this is very much a day out on the other side of the city for them.

Spurs get on the ball and knock it around calmly at the back despite plenty of chasing from the Brentford front line.

Dejan Kulusevski then does well to make space on the right, but his low cross is too close to David Raya.

It's a lovely day for football in north London. Let's hope for a thrilling game to match.

Away we go!

I've got my past three predictions right about Tottenham but I still really don't know what to expect from them.

Do Spurs really want to be in the Europa Conference League next season? That's what they will get if they finish seventh, and it can't be much of an incentive.

Tottenham's interim head coach Ryan Mason has indicated he wants the job permanently but he hasn't done anything since taking charge which makes you think 'blimey, he can take them to the next level'.

That might sound harsh, but that's the way it seems to me.

Brentford will be without England striker Ivan Toney following his ban. He scored when they drew 2-2 with Spurs earlier in the season but I can still see the Bees getting something from this game without him.

Prediction: 1-1

Here come the players. Harry Kane has a steely, business-like expression as he walks out from the tunnel.

Here's a quick reminder of the team-news before we get under way.
