Saturday 8th April 12.30pm
Premier League
White Hart Lane
Two away games against relegation battling sides since the international break and two wins.
Both were pretty tough, though the scorelines probably don't show that very well.
A depleted side grabbing a late, unlikely win should be another boost for us, though.
Our opponents look quite safe now, but their ex-Spurs contingent will have a point to prove.
Watford have had a very up and down season and their current run is no different.
They can pick up an unlikely result in their own favour or hand one to another side just as easily.
We'd do well to note their trip to the Emirates on the last day of January, where they left with all three points.
A quick start put them in an unassailable position, so we need be sharp from the off.
These Saturday lunchtime kick-offs don't always lend themselves to that, unfortunately.
The game at Vicarage Road earlier in the season was extremely one-sided.
I think it's fair to say that most people were disappointed by the late capitulation that allowed them to score.
It's not often that you can say that about a 4-1 victory away from home.
That shows just how dominant that performance was, in my opinion.
We brought in the New Year in some style, as our hosts seemed to be suffering from a hangover.
It took a while to make the breakthrough though, as Kane put us ahead just before the half-hour.
His second came almost instantly and Alli buried a third before the break.
He added his second and our fourth just after the restart, putting it well beyond an abject Watford.
Kaboul's late consolation came from some sloppy defending, as we gave away a cheap set-piece.

The game at the Lane in the last campaign was similarly one-side, but with a less emphatic scoreline.
We created plenty of chances, but it looked like it might become another one of those frustrating results.
Reaching the break scoreless didn't reflect the play, as Heurelho Gomes kept us at bay, somehow.
Kieran Trippier popped up with about 25 minutes left to become the unlikely hero, scoring the only goal of the game.
He's played for us against Watford quite a lot and tends to be a thorn in their side.

We have no suspensions for this one, but Watford will miss Miguel Britos, who was dismissed in their win over West Brom.
Kane, Lamela, Rose and Winks will all be absent due to injury, while Lloris and Wanyama will be assessed closer to the game.
Watford have Zarate and Pereyra out long-term, while a host of their players are injury concerns.
Walter Mazzarri might be playing this up a bit, but I'll point you to what he's said:

Did Son do enough against Swansea to keep his place, should Janssen replace him or should both start?
Should we stick with the system that we started with at the Liberty or revert to three at the back?
Do we need to rest or rotate anyone, given the midweek break that follows?
