Watford vs Tottenham: Preview and Prediction

Sunday 2nd September 2018

England Premier League
Sunday 2nd September 2018
Kick off at 4pm BST
Venue: Vicarage Road

Match Preview:

With both teams getting off to superb starts one team at least is set to lose their 100% record on Sunday.

Watford have been brilliant in beating Brighton, Burnley and Crystal Palace. In those games they have scored 7 goals and conceded just 2. Roberto Pereyra has been on brilliant form and the team are full of confidence. But now they will face their toughest test when Tottenham come to town.

Despite no new signings in the summer and a stadium delay Tottenham look even better than they did last season. That was underlined with a fantastic 3-0 victory at Manchester United last weekend and Harry Kane has already scored 2 goals this season, which is unlike him in August, maybe he wants his golden boot back. The team are able to soak up pressure, attack well and stay fitter than other teams as the game goes on, and this Tottenham side could be their best mentally that they have had in a generation. They will relish coming to this ground and try to make it 4 wins out of four.
