Tottenham heads into Monday night’s home clash with Watford on the back of a two-game winless run in the top-flight.
Spurs are fourth –place in the Premier League, five points ahead of fifth-place Chelsea, but the north London outfit are now three points behind third-place Liverpool and a further three points behind second-place Manchester United.
A 3-1 defeat last time out on home soil against champions Manchester City ended a four-game winning run at Wembley in the top-flight for Tottenham. In fact, the defeat ended a 14-game unbeaten run on home soil for Mauricio Pochettino’s men at home in the Premier League.
Tottenham have been prolific on home soil in the Premier League in recent seasons, failing to score in just one of their last 43 home games in the top-flight.
Tottenham also have a good recent record against Watford, winning eight of the last nine meetings in all competitions.
Watford heads into this game having failed to win in their last six Premier League outings while suffering four defeats in the process. The Hornets are nine points clear of the relegation zone despite their poor recent run of form and should have accrued enough points to be dragged into the relegation battle.
Last time out the Hornets drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace at Vicarage Road. The result means that Javi Gracia’s side has now failed to score in four of their last six outings in the top-flight.
The visitors have a woeful recent away record in the Premier League, failing to win in their last ten away games while suffering nine defeats in the process.
The Hornets main problem of late on their travels has been scoring goals, as they have failed to score in eight of those ten aforementioned matches, including their last six away games on their travels in the top-flight.
Forebet predicts that Tottenham will get back to winning ways by recording a victory in a high scoring clash.
