Did you know?

Christian Eriksen has been involved in three goals in his last four Premier League matches (one goal, two assist), while Brentford have won all five league fixtures he has started. He could be the 26th different player to score a Premier League goal against Spurs having played for them in the competition, which would be the most of any side (Chelsea also currently have 25 such players).

Harry Kane has faced 31 different opponents in the Premier League, with Brentford the only one he has not scored against. He has been involved in 50 goals in Premier League London derbies (39 goals, 11 assists), with only Thierry Henry having a hand in more (55).

Only Chelsea have won more points in Premier League London derbies this season than Brentford's 14. Only three London teams have earned more such points in their debut Premier League campaign, with all of them doing so in the inaugural season of 1992/93 (Chelsea 19, Spurs 16, Wimbledon 15).

Both Brentford and Spurs have scored three 90th-minute Premier League winners this season. Only four teams have ever scored four such goals in a single season (Sunderland 2007/08, Liverpool 2008/09, Everton 2009/10 and Newcastle United 2012/13).
