Tottenham return to Premier League action on Saturday evening with Aston Villa making the trip to north London.
Having performed well in pre-season after coming up against the likes of Juventus, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan, Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping for a strong start to the new campaign.
Well, the good news is that Spurs tend to do quite well when Chris Kavanagh is the man in the middle.
The Lancashire official was confirmed as referee on Monday and the team have a 100 per cent record in the Premier League when he's in charge.
Starting off with a 2-1 win at Brighton & Hove Albion last September, the Lilywhites also crushed Bournemouth 5-0 on Boxing Day before doing the double over the Seagulls in April courtesy of a 1-0 win.
Given a trip to Man City is on the agenda the following week, Pochettino and everyone connected with Spurs will be hoping their good run continues against the newly-promoted side.
Kavanagh will be assisted by Daniel Cook and Sian Massey-Ellis at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Tim Robinson the fourth official.
VAR will also be used in the Premier League for the first time this week with Stuart Attwell and Simon Long undertaking those duties.
