Watford v Spurs team news: Lucas joins Son and Kane in front three

The in-form Son Heung-min and Harry Kane face the only Premier League side without a clean sheet this season in the day’s solitary 3pm kick-off.

Son has six attacking returns in his last five appearances, while it’s three in three for Kane.

Watford v Tottenham Hotspur is the next Double Gameweek 21 fixture off the rank, following Manchester City’s last-gasp win over Arsenal.

There are no real surprises with the Spurs teamsheet, with Son and Kane joined by Lucas Moura in a front three at Vicarage Road.

The Brazilian is one of two players recalled to Antonio Conte’s starting XI, with Oliver Skipp also returning. Harry Winks and Dele Alli drop to the bench, while Giovani Lo Celso is also among the substitutes after overcoming a calf problem.

Claudio Ranieri has made three changes following his side’s 4-1 defeat by West Ham on Tuesday, with William Troost-Ekong, Imran Louza and Ken Sema back in the line-up.

Kiko Femenia is injured, while Cucho Hernandez and Ozan Tufan drop to the bench.

Ben Foster is not ready to return despite stepping up his training this week.

Son scored the only goal of the game when these sides last met in August, although the teams were under different management at that point.

Sergio Reguilon claimed maximum bonus points to supplement his clean sheet in that fixture.

GAMEWEEK 21 LINE-UPS

Watford XI: Bachmann, Troost-Ekong, Sierralta, Cathcart, Masina, Sissoko, Louza, Kucka, Sema, King, Dennis.

    Emerson Royal and Junior Firpo are two of the worst players in Prem

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Emerson Royal was being bigged up 6 hours ago and yesterday.

        I know I find it hilarious. People must not watch football. He is an awful player. Fair enough FPL isn’t always about quality. Just being in right team and system can be enough. But he is a donkey of a player

  10. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Are Spurs looking like they'll do it?

    I've heard it's all them but not really watching...

        I don't know what to say with no Son or Kane in my squad.

        Good for Reguilon owners i guess.

      2 years, 3 months ago

      Royal deserves 1 point deducted from his CS points but FPL Bonus system is broken
      You’ll be lucky to get 2 bonus.

    2. fplgaruda
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      That situation doesnt shout any goal chance at all. What if Louza got bad condition like Eriksen then?

  27. fricky_
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Gallagher still not in the squad

  28. Scots Gooner
