12:10 , Kieran Jackson

Brentford coach Thomas Frank He has extended his contract avec the Premier League club until 2027.

In 2016, the Dane, who was originally from Brondby, joined the Bees as an assistant coach. In 2018, he was promoted to the Premier League as a head coach. He also won the Championship play-off final victory over Swansea.

An impressive campaign last season – Brentford’s first term in the Premier League – saw Frank lead his side to a 13th-placed finish, and they are 10th in the table ahead of the league’s Boxing Day (26 December) restart.

Speaking about his latest contract extension on Saturday (24 December), the 49-year-old said: “Being a head coach at a club is like a relationship; there are highs and lows. I have been here six years in total, which is a long time in modern football, and I’d like to say thank you to the fans for the support you give us – the players, the staff, everyone involved with the club.

“The warmth, support and kindness every time I meet a Bees fan has been amazing, and it gives me extra energy to continue the work going forward.

“We attacked the Premier League in the first season and we’re attacking it in our second season. I’m looking forward to hopefully continuing our progress and creating more magic moments together.”

Tottenham vs Brentford

11:59 , Kieran Jackson

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has not spoken with Harry Kane discusses his missed spot-kick England But he believes that the forward is ready for a new chapter after his World Cup disappointment.

Kane’s missed penalty on December 10 saw his national team exit the World Cup after a 2-1 defeat to France in the last eight. France, captained by Spurs skipper Hugo Lloris, went on to reach the final in Qatar but lost out to Cristian Romero’s Argentina last Sunday in a penalty shoot-out.

Conte has told his World Cup players that they should forget about the experience from the Middle East. He is optimistic that Kane will repeat this mantra on Boxing Day. Brentford Even though he chose not to speak to the forward about his penalty pain,

“About my experience, when I was a player, negative situations happened and you know what happened,” the Tottenham manager said. “It’s not so important to find people to tell you ‘oh, don’t worry’. We are strong. You must be strong to play at this level.

“You have to try to address negative events in the right way. Harry is a strong person, I was a strong person when I was a player and for me it’s better not to speak, not to try and justify. This is an important player, and they know how to reply. Harry is for us the most important player. We are talking about a world-class striker and he broke every record to score.”

Antonio Conte sees no reason to talk to Harry Kane about England penalty miss

Tottenham vs Brentford: Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is not happy to play again so soon after the World Cup

11:18 , Kieran Jackson

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte He is unhappy to be playing so soon following the World Cup, and has suggested that he will choose those who have stayed in England for the Boxing Day clash at Brentford.

The Premier League The World Cup was won in Qatar by Spurs duo Hugo Lloris & Cristian Romero.

While Conte has already confirmed the World Cup finalists will not play on Monday, the Italian has a decision to make over Croatia’s Ivan Perisic as well as England pair Harry Kane and Eric Dier after the trio all made the last eight.

“It is a strange situation and honestly to play so quickly – only one week after the World Cup – I am not really happy,” he said.

“In one hand, you are happy because for my club, Tottenham, to have 12 players at the World Cup it means that we are in the right way to try to be competitive and to try in the future to win something.

“But it is normal that when you have so many players play a tournament like this, especially during the season, that now it is not easy because the physical condition is not at the top.

“It is impossible to give them a lot of rest and for sure with the players that didn’t play the World Cup and we work for four weeks, now they are in a great physical condition. We focus on both the tactical and physical aspects. Now they are at a level that is better than the players who finished the World Cup.”

Fantasy Football Tips FORWARDS

10:40 , Kieran Jackson

– Eddie Nketiah, Arsenal (£6.5m)

Striker is expected to start in Gabriel Jesus’ absence. Striker will be expected to score the goals that keep Arsenal on top.

– Che Adams, Southampton (£6.4m)

Saints have a good run of fixtures – and Adams is likely to be Nathan Jones’ main man up front

– Callum Wilson, Newcastle (£7.4m)

Barely represented in Qatar, so he will be hungry for the opportunity to perform. Newcastle has also impressed.

– Erling Haaland, Manchester City (£12.2m)

This is a sure bet. He scores goals. Many of them.

Fantasy Football tips for the MIDFIELDERS

10:36 , Kieran Jackson

– Andreas, Fulham (£4.6m)

The best budget midfielder in this game – with a double week in GW19.

– Miguel Almiron, Newcastle (£5.8m)

Do you remember how great this man was before the World Cup? He is the best-performing midfielder in all of football. Is he able to keep up his excellent form?

– Marcus Rashford, Manchester United (£6.7m)

The Man United frontman was a winner against Burnley in Carabao Cup. He also did well in Qatar. Cheap, too.

– Mohamed Salah, Liverpool (£12.6m)

Kevin de Bruyne or him is the main man for the Reds.

Fantasy Football tips for DEFENDERS

10:25 , Kieran Jackson

– Bueno, Wolves (£3.9m)

Has started in Wolves’ last five Premier League games – and ridiculously cheap.

– Ben White, Arsenal (£4.7m)

Arsenal joint-top for clean sheets, and the England international the cheapest route to the Gunners defense.

– Kieran Trippier, Newcastle (£5.9m)

The best-scoring defender in football; can score goals and assist.

– Joao Cancelo, Manchester City (£7.4m)

You can pick safely, but you are more likely to get into Pep roulette during busy holidays.

Fantasy Football tips from GOALKEEPERS

10:18 , Kieran Jackson

– Danny Ward, Leicester (£4.1m)

Despite a poor opening two months, Sixth place in FPL goalkeeper scoring average… dirt cheap.

– Bernd Leno, Fulham (£4.5m)

Fulham double gameweek in GW19; a great option for the bench

– Aaron Ramsdale, Arsenal (£4.9m)

Arseanl is top in clean sheets and at the top of the league. Still a fair price.

– Nick Pope, Newcastle (£5.3m)

The Magpies were the top scoring team in the game.
