Watford Preview – Can Watford continue ascent?
A strong sequence of results in recent weeks have seen a rejuvenated Watford outfit pull themselves out of the relegation mire and up into 17th place on the Premier League ladder, thanks to winning 4 of their last 5 matches.
Watford still have a lot of work ahead of them if they’re to avoid the drop, but The Hornets have responded in impressive fashion to the new manager, Nigel Pearson, by collecting crucial wins against Manchester United, Aston Villa, Wolves and Bournemouth – the latter being a 3-0 win at the Vitality Stadium.
The hosts will certainly be keen to keep their momentum going against Tottenham having won their last 3 home matches on the trot with their overall home record continuing to improve and now standing at a more respectable looking 3-4-4 11/14.
However, history is not on Watford’s side ahead of this clash as the hornets have registered just 1 win against Tottenham in their last 18 meetings.
Tottenham Preview – Can Tottenham avoid third defeat on trot?
Following back-to-back defeats to Southampton and Liverpool, Tottenham will make the relatively short journey to Vicarage Road looking to avoid a third league defeat on the trot which has resulted in Tottenham dropping down to 8th place on the top flight ladder.
With 4 points separating Spurs from 5th placed Manchester United, Tottenham’s need for all three points here becomes increasingly important especially as the visitors have now picked up just 1 win out of their last 5 matches overall in the Premier League.
Results away from home also continue to frustrate as Spurs have recorded wins at West Ham and Wolves but have suffered defeats at Manchester United and Southampton as well, so it’s difficult to tell which Tottenham side will turn up at Vicarage Road for this lunchtime kick-off.
The one thing in Tottenham’s favour though is their historic record against Watford although they’ll be without the services of injured Harry Kane.
