David Raya to Tottenham transfer has added spice after nightmare fixture scenario for Brentford

Tottenham fans can start making their arrangements for the new season after the 2023/24 Premier League schedule was confirmed on Thursday morning. Ange Postecoglou will take charge of his first Spurs league match on Sunday, August 13 when the Lilywhites make their way across London to take on Brentford.

Drawing both of their games at the Gtech Community Stadium since the Bees won promotion to the Premier League in 2021, Tottenham will be hoping it is third time lucky for them in west London. It will not be straightforward at all for Postecoglou and his team, however, as Thomas Frank's side have made great strides under him over the past two years and fared extremely well on home soil.

Brentford only suffered two defeats from a possible 19 in the Premier League last term, with Arsenal and Newcastle United the only teams able to pick up maximum points in TW8. Certainly a tough test for Postecoglou in his first Premier League game, victory against the Bees would send out a big warning to their rivals that the Australian and his team do mean business in the 2023/24 campaign.
