Big Match Breakdown: Watford v Tottenham Hotspur

Odds and info for Sunday’s Vicarage Road clash

Watford and Tottenham Hotspur head into Sunday’s clash with 100% records after three Premier League games. So something has to give at Vicarage Road.

It’s Spurs who have generally had the better of this fixture, but they face a Hornets side who are already hinting at being this season’s surprise package.

Head-to-Head

The pair may be in similarly fine form at present, but the pair’s head-to-head record suggests Spurs should get the job done in Hertfordshire.

Tottenham have won eight of the last nine meetings, and are unbeaten in 14 clashes with the Hornets. You have to go back to 1987 for the last time Watford won this fixture.

The most recent clash – in April of this year – ended in an easy 2-0 win for Mauricio Pochettino’s men.

Likely XIs

Nathaniel Chalobah returned to the side with a stellar midweek display against Reading, and that’s likely to earn him a first Prem outing of the season.

He could partner Etienne Capoue in a defensive midfield duo, with boss Javi Gracia favouring a 4-4-2 system of late.

Spurs’ only enforced change comes between the posts. Injury to Hugo Lloris means Michel Vorm is expected to start.

In attack, Christian Eriksen will sit behind the duo of Harry Kane and Lucas Moura – who tormented Manchester United by netting all three goals on Monday night.
