Tottenham would be looking to get back to winning ways this weekend as they travel to the Vicarage Road to take on Watford. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Via a solitary goal, Tottenham got the better of the Hornets in the early days of the 2021/2022 Premier League campaign. Would they make it six points from two games this weekend ?
Spurs pressing on top four places
Claudio Ranieri's troops did take the lead against West Ham in their most recent game but failed to build upon that early strike as Emmanuel Denis' opener meant nothing but a consolation with the hammers netting four times for a 4-1 victory. Still, in search of their first win since beating Man United by a similar scoreline, the Hornets have sunk to 17th position just two points ahead of Burnley who have played a game less. Watford's poor return could be attributed to their leaky rearguard as they head into this one with the 3rd worst defensive record in the top-flight. How would they fare against the likes of Kane and Son ?
Unbeaten in the league since Conte's arrival, Tottenham have swiftly been put in the top four discussions with the London club just five points behind North London rivals Arsenal whilst playing two games less. In their most recent game, they were held away by 10-man Southampton in a 1-1 draw that wasn't too pleasing to the Tottenham supporters. With Kane back in scoring form, however, Spurs don't look like a side that would capitulate any time soon as they go for the Champions League places.
