ThePremier League gets back to action after the World Cup break on Boxing Day with Brentford playing host to Tottenham at the Gtech Community Stadium.
The hosts emerged as giant killers in their previous league game as they beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in November and will be looking to bag another three points against Antonio Conte's men. However, history is not on their side as they are winless in their last 13 meetings with Tottenham in all competitions (D4 L9), since a 2-0 home win in the second tier in March 1948.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are unbeaten in their last 15 league Boxing Day games (W12 D3) since a 2-0 loss at Portsmouth in 2003. Moreover, no player has scored more Premier League goals on Boxing Day than Harry Kane (9, level with Robbie Fowler), with the England striker scoring on all six of his appearances on this day.
GOAL brings you details on how to watch the game on TV in the UK, U.S. and India and how to stream it live online.
