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

      Would save WC for DGW- but Haz to Stanislas makes sense for January if you look at the difference in their fixtures. I know sounds far fetched but Haz is pricey and his funds could be used for equal production plus $itb

    I'm captaining Lukaku this GW against Southampton.

    I know he trolled us against Hull (I captained his too 🙁 ). But Southampton don't look to be at their best, they aren't as solid as the have been and they have VVD suspended. Time for Rom to make up for ruining my current GW score.

      Not a bad shout. If they revert to 3 at the back I think it will help as Baines and Coleman are their best attacking outlets with Bolasie injured.
