Watford play host to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon sitting outside of the relegation zone for the first time since August, report agencies. Meanwhile, Spurs make the short trip to Vicarage Road having failed to win any of their last three fixtures in the top flight, leaving Jose Mourinho's team in eighth position in the standings.
While supporters will be optimistic regarding the progression of Japhet Tanganga and Giovani Lo Celso, they will acknowledge that they will not earn a place in the Premier League's top four at the end of the campaign unless they improve in defence. The meeting with Watford is followed by a home clash against Norwich City - one which Mourinho and his squad will be expected to win with relative ease.
However, with Manchester City lurking around the corner, Spurs are under pressure to build some momentum ahead of welcoming Pep Guardiola's team to North London.
