​

Tottenham Hotspur face Watford at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday night as Mauricio Pochettino looks for a positive end to a nightmare week.
Spurs have been knocked out of two cup competitions by Chelsea and Crystal Palace in the space of four days, missing three penalties in the process. This week's cup exits have provided some interesting comments from the Spurs boss, who said that their focus is the top four as trophies only 'build egos'.

Meanwhile, Watford made 11 changes and eased past Newcastle in their fourth round tie of the FA Cup. Goals from Andre Gray and Isaac Success gave Javi Gracia a comfortable 2-0 win at St. James' Park and the Hornets will go into the game knowing this as good a time as any totake on Spurs.
Watford are in seventh place with Spurs in third, four points clear of Chelsea.

Team News
Spurs will be without key men Harry Kane and Dele Alli until March but Pochettino will be grateful for the return of Son Heung-min as South Korea were eliminated from the Asia Cup.
Defender Ben Davies is a major doubt, however Victor Wanyama returned to the fold in Sunday's defeat to Palace after a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a knee injury.


Watford's Kiko Femenia was substituted with a hamstring problem during their 0-0 draw with Burnley last weekend and Daryl Janmaat is expected to take his place once more.
Abdoulaye Doucoure was not in the squad against Burnley due to a knee injury but Gracia was confident in his post-match interview that the midfielder would return this week.

Head to Head Record

Watford beat Spurs in the reverse fixture in September as they came from a goal down to win 2-1 thanks to goals from Troy Deeney and Craig Cathcart.

The sides also met in the Carabao Cup this season where Spurs edged past the Hornets on penalties after three goals and a red card in the final 10 minutes saw the game finish 2-2.

Watford have only beaten Tottenham eight times in 47 games, losing 30.


Recent Form

Pochettino has seen his side lose two of their previous four league games with defeats to Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester United both coming at Wembley. A defeat on Wednesday would be their third loss in six days.


Watford have drawn three of their previous four matches in the Premier League including a 3-3 draw at Bournemouth, with all six goals scored in the first half. They are unbeaten since Boxing Day.

WHEREVER YOU ARE IN THE WORLD - ENJOY THE GAME ​

 

Good luck to the Golden Boys

 

Lets hope they are as complacent as Alex Scott was on MOTD over the weekend saying "Spurs have only got Watford next"

Lawro thinks we can get a point...

No Doucouré I see... hopefully is really due to injury!

 

COYHHHHHHH

The double is coming up (fingers crossed)

 

After Manchester City's defeat last night, Tottenham can move back within two points of the top two and forward Son Heung-min is available for Spurs following South Korea's quarter-final exit from the Asian Cup.

Moussa Sissoko is fit again after a knee injury but defender Ben Davies is sidelined, along with Harry Kane and Dele Alli.
