Tottenham vs Watford

Tottenham look to put the disappointment at the weekend behind them as they welcome Watford to Wembley on Wednesday night.

Spurs are having a somewhat crisis at the moment regarding injuries to key players. Dele Alli and Harry Kane have both been sidelined to March with injuries.

Mauricio Pochettino's men were outplayed and beaten on Saturday in the FA Cup by London rivals Crystal Palace.

Whereas Watford were excellent in their 2-0 win away at Newcastle United to progress into the fifth round.

The reverse fixture saw Watford come from a goal down to beat Spurs by two goals to one at Vicarage Road.

Watford are without any fresh injury concerns for their trip to Wembley, though.

 

The Managers

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino: "We are still in two competitions, in a good position in the Premier League, and the Champions League is a massive motivation for the whole club.
