    WATFORD v TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
    please log in to view this image

    Vicarage Road Stadium
    Saturday 1st January 2022
    Kick Off 1500 GMT


    Spurs are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 1-1 draw with Southampton in their last outing, their third of the season and second in their last three.

    It kept them in sixth place on the league table with 30 points from 17 games, level with Manchester United. However, Antonio Conte's side have two games in hand over fifth-placed West Ham United.


    Sad to say Watford are currently on a freefall, losing each of their last five top-flight games to plummet down to 17th in the standings, just two points above the drop zone.

    Their last game resulted in another 4-1 humiliation, this time at the hands of West Ham, who fought back from an early deficit.
    • Watford have won only one of their last 17 league games against Tottenham Hotspur - a 2-1 victory at the Vicarage Road in September 2018.
    • Since a 4-1 win at the Vicarage Road on New Year's Day in 2017, Tottenham Hotspur are winless in their last three visits at the stadium.
    • Watford are the only side without a Premier League clean sheet this season, while conceding in each of their last 27 games.

    Wait and see; Injuries and covid make team forecasting a lottery.

    We could and should have got a result at the NFL Stadium, if we attack them like we did against Chelsea and Man U we could well surprise them

    Not sure about Sema and Kucka tbh.

    Cleverley might have been better .

    No might about it - would have.

    I presume Cathcart is playing right back? I'd rather see him in the centre instead of WTE and Ngakia at right back.

    It is a strange looking team, but we do not know who is fit for a full 90 minutes?

    Scott Duxbury promises January "squad modifications" in his programme notes:
    "...we are engaged in a fight to retain Premier League status and we're aware that will take further squad modifications during the upcoming January transfer window..."

    At least Mark Lawrenson has us down for a defeat, we should be optimistic then......

    Happy New Year All
    Currently seeing if the stream I have will show our game
    Not hoping for much this afternoon, just effort and application
    Article in DT today wondering how much time CR will have. Realistically he has had a tough run of games and covid to deal with but if we don't starting beating teams around us the Pozzo's may load their often used shotgun but I am not sure that will be the answer.
    Enjoy the game all if you can.

    Well at least we haven't scored early and need to sit back and defend.

    Masina is far too keen on the back pass.

    Couple of decents saves by Bachmann so far - and very nearly the obligatory mistake from WTE which could have seen a penalty.

    I wonder if we could sign Eric Dier from them this window? With a name like that he'd be a perfect fit for our midfield.
