Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips

Are Tottenham genuine challengers for the Premier League title? They find themselves just five points adrift of current league leaders Leicester City who are playing second placed Manchester City, while Spurs are now above London rivals Arsenal with today’s hosts in third spot.

Following three straight wins on the trot over Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Norwich City, Tottenham now occupy one of the three Champions League spots, and with a fairly resilient looking  6-4-2  22/9 record under their belts at White Hart Lane, Spurs will fancy their chances of adding more points this afternoon.

The two defeats were to Newcastle United and Leicester City but they did manage to bounce back with all three points against Sunderland, while their leading goalscorer Harry Kane is scoring goals again as he’s notched 6 in his last 7 EPL games.

Visitors Watford held Chelsea to a 0-0 draw at Vicarage Road in midweek which would have been considered a good result for The Hornets despite Chelsea’s recent problems. A 2-1 home win over Newcastle United in the previous match has helped lift Watford up into the top half of the Premier League, but they face a tough assignment at Spurs this afternoon.

Watford have lost their last two away from home with defeats at Southampton and Swansea City while their overall record of  4-3-4  14/15 is a pretty good one considering this is their first season back into the top flight for a number of years.

However, Watford’s record away at top half opposition hasn’t been as impressive as their stats read  0-1-2  3/6 and they may well struggle again this afternoon.
