For the Tottenham fans in the Transfer Tavern, the game against Watford on Sunday is a must-win clash…
Mauricio Pochettino’s side are quickly slipping down the table in the Premier League, and with a crunch clash against league leaders Chelsea coming up – Tottenham simply must start picking up a few more points.
Spurs are currently in 5th, meaning they are out of both Champions League and Premier League title contention – and this is something that must be remedied.
This weekend plays host to a clash against Hertfordshire outfit Watford, who have impressed so far this season.
However, Tottenham will be expected to comfortably win the game ahead of the Chelsea clash – and Mauricio Pochettino must ensure that he picks the right side to get the job done.
With that said, our landlord thinks that this could be Pochettino’s Spurs XI to smash Watford on Sunday – what do you think?
GK – Hugo Lloris
Hugo Lloris is Tottenham’s undisputed number 1 – and that is unlikely to change any time soon.
Expect him to start.
LB – Danny Rose
Fresh from injury, Danny Rose will undoubtedly be looking to retain his place against Watford.
Expect a few impressive runs forward.
CB – Toby Alderweireld
Toby Alderweireld has been unfortunate with injuries this season, but his return will allow Pochettino to breath a sigh of relief.

CB – Jan Vertonghen
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); Jan Vertonghen has been as consistent as ever this season – and that will be vital as the season progresses.
RB – Kyle Walker
Kyle Walker has, arguably, proven himself as the Premier League’s best right-back this season.
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); He has been great both defensively and offensively – and that bodes well for Tottenham going forward.
DM – Victor Wanyama
The Tottenham fans in the Transfer Tavern expected Wanyama to be a bit-part player this season, but he has been anything but.
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); A stellar addition to an already impressive midfield.
DM – Mousa Dembele
Mousa Dembele will likely keep his place, and he will undoubtedly continue to impress in the middle-of-the-park.
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); Eric Dier will be unfortunate not to get a game, though.
LW – Christian Eriksen
Christian Eriksen has not been in the best form this season, though he has been somewhat more impressive in recent weeks.
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); He needs to start scoring more.
CAM – Dele Alli
Dele Alli, like Eriksen, has not been perfect this season – but there is no doubting that he will retain his place.
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); He is, argueably, the most talented man in this team.
RW – Moussa Sissoko
With Erik Lamela unavailable, Moussa Sissoko will likely get a chance.
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); He needs to start repaying his transfer fee, as he has been quite poor so far.
ST – Harry Kane
Who else but Harry Kane?
The young English forward is a natural goalscorer – and you would be hard-pressed to find someone to bet against him bagging another one this weekend.
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})();
