EPL: Spurs hunt for sixth consecutive win

Tottenham vs. Watford
Venue: White Hart Lane
Kick off: 12:30PM

Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Premier League leaders, Chelsea, will continue when they welcome Watford to White Hart Lane on Saturday (today).
Five straight league wins has kept Spurs in the title hunt with eight games left, although Mauricio Pochettino’s side are still seven points behind the table-topping Blues at the business end of the campaign.
Tottenham will go in search of their sixth straight Premier League victory when they welcome Watford to White Hart Lane today, and there is no question that another three points are required if Pochettino’s side are to stand a chance of lifting the Premier League title this season.
Spurs’ title ambitions looked to be in tatters when they trailed into the final two minutes of their clash with Swansea City on Wednesday night, but the London side turned things around in the final moments to record a 3-1 win.
The capital outfit are now five points clear of third-place Liverpool with a game in hand, although they still trail league leaders Chelsea by seven points, and that looks to be a tough gap to breach with just eight games of the season left.
However, it has been an up-and-down season for Watford, although back-to-back home wins has seen the Hornets ease fears that they would be dragged into a relegation battle in the final weeks of the campaign.
Indeed, six points from their last two Premier League matches has seen Walter Mazzarri’s side move into 10th position in the table, with 37 points leaving them nine points clear of the relegation zone.
They are not quite safe at this stage, but it would take some collapse from this position to drop out of the division.

Spurs Possible XI: Lloris, Walker, Alderweireld, Vertongthen, Davies, Dier, Dembele, Eriksen, Alli, Son, Janssen.
Watford Possible XI: Gomes, Janmaat, Cathcart, Prodl, Holebas, Niang, Cleverley, Doucoure, Capoue, Amrabat, Deeney.
