  "account": "Tottenham Hotspur are set to face Brentford in a Premier League match on Saturday evening, with Roberto De Zerbi making his first competitive appearance as manager. The club has undergone significant investment this summer, with De Zerbi spending approximately £237 million to rebuild the squad. However, not all players will be available for the match due to injuries and fitness concerns. Micky van de Ven, Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert, Dejan Kulusevski, Pape Sarr, Destiny Udogie, and Sandro Tonali are among the absentees. With these players sidelined, Archie Gray will likely fill in at right-back alongside Jan Paul van Hecke in central defence. The team's lineup is expected to include midfielders Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, alongside Richarlison up front. James Maddison's availability for the starting lineup is uncertain due to conflicting reports on his fitness. The match is scheduled to kick off at 17:30 BST on Saturday, 22 August 2026 and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event in the UK.",
