Tottenham 1-0 Watford: Spurs keep rising…

Campbell made more than 300 Tottenham appearances before a controversial free transfer move to Arsenal in the summer of 2001, going on to win the Premier League twice. When Pochettino was a youth player at Newell’s, the club won the 1987-88 Primera División title, which was before the days of the season being split into two, although he did not feature. It’s been a great campaign for Watford, with 33 points. Watford sit in the top half of the league table an unbelievable achievement for Sanchez Flores and his side. Should they win the majority of these matches, then there is no reason why they could not be given an outside chance to win the title, or finish above third.

“Tottenham have improved since the last time we played”. Meanwhile Odion Ighalo scored for the hosts in the first half.

Ex-Tottenham skipper Sol Campbell is among the doubters who fear the north Londoners could blow their shot at the title because of the “lack of winners” in their team.

The 23-year-old Denmark worldwide has been at the hub of Tottenham ‘s resurgence in a season when they are battling on three fronts.

SPURS: Lloris, Alderweireld, Kane, Lamela (Son, 71), Dier, Trippier, Dembele, Chadli (Alli, 60), Eriksen (Carroll, 90), Wimmer, Davies. This season looks like an excellent opportunity for Spurs to break their duck against him. The England global has a chance of winning the golden boot and at the age of 22, his potential is huge.

“I remember saying earlier in the season that I wouldn’t discount Spurs“.

They are leaner with each passing week, faster and more confident.

Dele Alli is a doubt with an illness that forced him off in the week. Ryan Mason will be inactive, as well as Jan Vertonghen. Clinton N’Jie is also a month away from returning to the first team.

The visitors have Nathan Ake back available after he was ineligible to face Chelsea, but Miguel Britos and Etienne Capoue will be assessed after suffering from illness.

It was the right-back’s first goal for the club on only his fourth league start since making a £3.5 million ($5.1 million, 4.5 million euros) switch from Burnley last June. Could they do the unthinkable and win it? It is not a surprise we are in a good position.

Anything but 1st or 2nd wont do for City or Arsenal and is that in itself a burden that they might struggle with?
