After exiting the FA Cup last week, Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League duty on Wednesday, when they take on London rivals Brentford.
While the Bees were enjoying their mid-season break, Spurs lost at home to Manchester City last time out and will now seek their first league win of 2024.
Having beaten their opponents on all five previous occasions they had met at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs were ready to relinquish that streak and settle for an FA Cup replay last week, but the clubs' fourth-round tie ultimately went the way of Man City.
Nathan Ake's much-disputed late goal decided matters in the holders' favour, leaving Ange Postecoglou's men with only the Premier League to concentrate on between now and the end of the season.
A 16-year silverware drought goes on, so Spurs now turn their attention to staying in touch with the top four - and holding off challengers from behind, such as Manchester United, who held them to a 2-2 draw earlier this month.
