On Thursday, Tottenham boss Thomas Frank returns to Gtech Community Stadium for the first time to face former side Brentford.
BBC Sport looks at the key talking points before the fixture.
For Tottenham fans, looking back and reflecting on 2025 must be a hard one to process. Ending their 17-year wait for a trophy with a Europa League triumph provoked delirious scenes, but either side of that epic night in Bilbao, it has been a glum and attritional year with positives at a premium.
Across the past 12 months Spurs managed a measly 11 league wins with both Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank struggling to get results. The only ever-present sides to win fewer Premier League points in 2025 than Tottenham's 39 were lowly Wolves (29) and West Ham (34).
Their gritty win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park at least saw Spurs end the year on a high and maintained their position on top of the Premier League's away form table with 17 points from nine matches.
They lost all four of their Premier League matches in January last season, with their past such win coming against a Brentford side managed by Thomas Frank in 2024.
This is a first return for the Dane to the club he managed with distinction for 278 league games between 2018 and 2025. However, he will put sentiment to one side as he looks to continue Spurs' excellent recent record against his former team.
The Lilywhites secured a 2-0 win in the first 'Thomas Frank Derby' back in early December and are unbeaten in their four Premier League visits to Gtech Community Stadium. Overall, they have lost just one of nine meetings with Brentford since they were promoted to the top-flight.
Bees boosted by excellent home form
While Spurs boast the league's best away record this season, Brentford's home form has been superb under Keith Andrews.
They have lost just one of their nine home games this season (won six, drawn two and it has helped propel them up to ninth in the table. Tipped to struggle following Frank's departure, they are actually two points better off than they were at this stage of last season.
