Tottenham Hotspur would make the trip to Vicarage Road to take on Watford as they hope to continue their 100% winning record in the Premier League. Spurs surprised a lot of people when they produced a marvellous performance last weekend to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford with a commanding 3-0 scoreline. However, it would be a difficult task for them to come away with maximum points from this league contest as the Hornets have also made a winning start to their season having already beaten the likes of Brighton & Hove Albion, Burnley and Crystal Palace.
Javi Gracia’s team won’t give up without a fight, and that is what makes this a mouth-watering Premier League encounter. The recent history of this fixture overwhelmingly favours the away side as they have won 8 of their last nine meetings with the Hertfordshire outfit. Pochettino is expected to stick with his favoured 4-2-3-1 and might hand Ben Davies a start ahead of Danny Rose, who is a significant doubt for this clash.
4-2-3-1 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup To Face Watford
Defence
Hugo Lloris will operate as the goalkeeper in Mauricio Pochettino’s first-team once again. The defensive pair of Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen could line up in central defence while Ben Davies would return to ply his trade in the left-back position. Kieran Trippier should play on the right-hand side of the backline.
The Spurs defence kept a clean sheet away at Old Trafford last weekend, and they would try to repeat that feat against a dangerous Watford team on Sunday.
Midfield
The duo of Eric Dier and Mousa Dembele is likely to be deployed as the holding midfielders while the in-form trio of Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Lucas Moura could be unleashed in front of them as part of the Tottenham midfield. All three of them have played their role in Spurs’ excellent start to the new season with Moura finding another dimension to his game following his man of the match display against the Red Devils in the previous gameweek.
Erik Lamela is a doubt for the game but should recover in time to be available on the bench.
Attack
Harry Kane will once again lead the lines for the North London giants up top. He has scored two goals in three matches so far and is slowly coming back to his best. A lot of Tottenham fans and Fantasy Premier League players would expect the English forward to register his name on the scoresheet on Sunday, given August is finally over.
