Dugout Discussion – Watford vs Tottenham Hotspur

Sunday brings the curtain down on Gameweek 19 with two more matches before the following round of fixtures gets underway tomorrow.

First up, we make up way to Vicarage Road, where Spurs are looking to take advantage of a Watford defence that’s failed to keep a clean sheet in eight league encounters.

Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli both served up double-figure tallies on their midweek travels in a 4-1 win at Southampton – the Dane now has 10+ points in four of his last six.

With a total of 10 points accrued over the last four fixtures, Harry Kane, meanwhile, is second only to Romelu Lukaku for transfers out this Gameweek as the scramble to acquire Sergio Aguero ahead of City’s clash with Burnley picks up pace.

The Hornets have netted just once in the previous three but with clashes against Stoke, Middlesbrough, Bournemouth and Burnley in the subsequent five, Walter Mazzarri’s men have a chance to play their way into our plans.

Certainly, the home side will fancy their chances against a defence that’s devoid of suspended pair Kyle Walker and Jan Vertonghen after both toppled off the Suspension Tightrope last time around.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        Questionable. I saw Winks lining up to come on at 59.25 but the ball didn't go out of play!

      Only way to get Kun in for Defoe is to sell Siggy for Phillips & flog either Haz or Sanchez!!

    Spurs getting Alli for £5m was a filthy piece of business. Proving to be a bargain in a fluctuated, inflated market.

          Yep, pretty much. React week by week and call whichever player they just transferred out a troll. The thing with someone like Kane is, he is a big hitter and you know its only a matter of time for the next haul. People on here go nuts at such inevitable occurrences.
