Tottenham travel to Vicarage Road in desperate need of points having only recorded 4 Premier League points from their last 4 games – leaving them in danger of being cut adrift in the league title chase. Watford have been impressive this season – picking up points against Liverpool and beating Arsenal and Marco Silva’s men currently reside in 8th place in the table, with an outside chance of European football.

TottenhamWatford
The Hornets have been one of the surprise packages in the Premier League this season – sat in 8th place with 21 points from their opening 13 games. Marco Silva has assembled an attacking team filled with some of the brightest young talents in the Premier League and their free-flowing attacking football has won them many plaudits. Will Hughes has scored 2 goals in his last 2 Premier League games and the much touted, former Derby midfielder looks to be coming of age.
Tottenham
Mauricio Pochettino’s men have fallen off the pace slightly in the Premier League and currently find themselves 13 points behind Manchester City. Defeats to Arsenal and Manchester United as well as a home draw with West Bromwich Albion, have left Spurs concentrating on securing Champions League football for the time being. Harry Kane added to his Premier League tally against West Brom meaning the England man now has 15 goals to this name in all competitions already this season.
Head to Head
Tottenham hold a heavy dominance over Watford in the head to head record between the sides – leading by 28 wins to 7 with another 8 games between the sides ending as draws. Spurs smashed 8 goals past the Hornets in the two meetings last season – winning 4-0 at White Hart Lane and 4-1 at Vicarage Road in the equivalent fixture. Watford have not beaten Tottenham in a competitive fixture since 1994 – a record they will be keen to amend quickly.
