A red-hot Brentford welcome Tottenham to their slice of Hounslow for a Premier League clash on Saturday evening.
Thomas Frank's side have won three league matches in a row for the first time all season. King George VI was on the throne the last time Brentford claimed four consecutive top-flight victories.
Here's the XI Frank may deploy to replicate that historic feat.
1. Goalkeeper & defenders
David Raya (GK) - Brentford's number one hasn't conceded a goal at home since February.
Kristoffer Ajer (CB) - Employed as a right-back since the start of March following Frank's change in system, Ajer may return to a back three to match up against Tottenham (just as Frank did in the recent victory over Chelsea).
Pontus Jansson (CB) - The burly Bees captain may still be riding the crest of the wave launched by his 95th-minute headed winner last weekend.
Mads Bech Sorensen (CB) - Brought on after 20 minutes for a hobbling Ethan Pinnock, Sorensen could be called upon from the start this Saturday.
2. Midfielders
Mads Roerslev (RWB) - With Sergi Canos' fitness in doubt, Frank may turn to the 22-year-old in a bid to close off the space Tottenham's wing-backs can exploit.
Vitaly Janelt (CM) - Only two teammates have outscored the four-goal German midfielder in the Premier League this season.
Christian Norgaard (CM) - All three of Norgaard's goals this campaign have come from set pieces, finding himself on the end of one free kick and two long throws.
Christian Eriksen (CM) - The returning miracle man made more than 300 appearances across six and a half years at Tottenham before leaving to join Antonio Conte at Inter. If only there was some narrative to this match.
Rico Henry (LWB) - Despite playing much of the season as a wing-back, Henry hasn't recorded a league assist since creating Janelt's opener against QPR in November 2020.
3. Forwards
Bryan Mbeumo (ST) - Brentford's leading assist-provider (with seven) has either scored or created five goals in his last four appearances.
Ivan Toney (ST) - Mbeumo's partner-in-crime has found the net in each of his last four appearances at the Brentford Community Stadium.
