Tottenham return to Premier League action on Wednesday with the visit of Brentford.
Spurs were last week knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester City, leaving the league as their sole focus for the rest of the campaign as Ange Postecoglou looks to secure Champions League qualification come the end of the season.
Brentford are still counting the cost of many injuries but have Ivan Toney available again as they look to continue to reverse a run of five defeats in six.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Tottenham vs Brentford is scheduled for a 7.30pm GMT kick-off on Wednesday, January 31, 2024.
The match will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham vs Brentford team news
Tottenham hope to hand James Maddison his first start in almost two months after a cameo in the FA Cup loss. Ange Postecoglou says there will be changes from last week, and the midfielder could be one. Alejo Veliz, Manor Solomon and Giovani Lo Celso remain sidelined.
Heung-min Son, Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr are still away on international duty, but the latter will return to the club on Wednesday following Senegal’s Africa Cup of Nations exit. He will play no part against Brentford but will be in contention to face Everton on Saturday.
Brentford hope to have Christian Norgaard available, but otherwise it is a case of as you were for Thomas Frank. Aaron Hickey and Kevin Schade could return next week.
Yoane Wissa, Frank Onyeka and Saman Ghoddos are still at the Africa Cup of Nations. Loan signing Sergio Reguilon is ineligible to face parent club Spurs.
Tottenham vs Brentford prediction
These two teams faced off on the opening weekend of the season in Ange Postecoglou’s first competitive game in charge. It was a 2-2 draw that day in an even game, but five months on Spurs should be confident of picking up their first win over the Bees in over two years.
Spurs have continued to improve under Postecoglou while Brentford have been hit hard by injuries and international call-ups. Ivan Toney is, though, lurking and with a point to prove.
Spurs to win, 3-1.
