Kick-off 3pm Saturday

Tottenham are going through their toughest period of the season with one point from their last three games and they cannot expect an easy ride at Watford.

Mauricio Pochettino's side posted two clear-cut wins over Watford last term, 4-1 in Hertfordshire and 4-0 at White Hart Lane, but they will find the Hornets are a much-improved team.

However, Watford will push forward and that may suit a Spurs side who have sometimes struggled to unpick packed defences.

There should be entertainment at both ends in a high-scoring contest.
