Our hosts today are injury-ravaged, and haven’t won a game in their last 6 outings, will Dr. Tottenham be making a house call, or will Antonio Conte have instructed his medics to unplug all life-support machines on sight?
Watford has won just one of their last 17 games against Tottenham, and that was way back when in 2018.
In a sign that their struggles may continue for an extended period, Watford has conceded two or more goals in five consecutive Premier League outings with a near ‘full strength’ defence.
Surely not?! Spurs’ midfielder Dele Alli has scored in five of his last nine competitive meetings with Watford, including a double in that aforementioned 4-1 win.
Talking Italian? There have been no draws, and an average of 3.56 total goals per game, in the nine previous managerial clashes between Watford boss Claudio Ranieri and Tottenham’s Conte (two wins to Ranieri, and seven to Conte).
My prediction is a 1-3 win to the Lilywhites.
