THE LOWDOWN
WATFORD
- Despite taking the lead against West Ham, Watford’s fragile defence once again caved in as they ultimately succumbed to a 1-4 loss at the hands of David Moyes’ side, their fifth Premier League defeat in a row.
- Right-back Kiko Femenia will be missing for the visit of Tottenham having been forced off against West Ham with a hamstring problem, adding to a lengthy Hornets injury list that includes the likes of Ismaila Sarr, Peter Etebo and Christian Kabasele
TOTTENHAM
- Tottenham suffered huge frustration at Southampton last time out, failing to overcome the Saints despite playing against ten-men for over half the game, ultimately drawing 1-1 to leave them still five points adrift of the top four heading into this latest round of Premier League fixtures.
- Attacking midfielder Stephen Bergwijn has joined Cristian Romero and Ryan Sessegnon on the sidelines for Spurs due to injury, whilst Giovani Lo Celso will also miss out here.

THE PREDICTION
Antonio Conte’s Tottenham will be looking to take out all their frustration built up following the draw against Southampton out on a Watford side consistently leaking goals. The Hornets have now conceded 15 goals across their last five league matches and up aagainst forward Harry Kane, who looks to be finding form again for Spurs alongside the dangerous Heung-Min Son, this could prove a long afternoon for Claudio Ranieri’s men. Tottenham’s strength-in-depth and superior individual ability among their squad should tell with such a short turnaround in fixture so back the visitors to emerge triumphant in this one.
Tip: TOTTENHAM TO WIN
