Watford meet Tottenham at Vicarage Road as both sides look to continue their 100% records in the Premier League so far.
Watford impressed during their victory over Crystal Palace last weekend whilst Spurs blew away Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Javi Gracia is expected to return to a team resembling the one from last week after making several changes for their midweek Carabao Cup game against Reading, which they won.
Gerard Deulofeu could return, leaving Tom Cleverley as the only absentee.
Spurs have bigger issues, with first choice goalkeeper Hugo Lloris out due to a thigh injury.
Moussa Sissoko remains out with a hamstring problem whilst Erik Lamela will have a late fitness test. Heung-min Son is returning from international duty with South Korea at the Asian Games.
Whilst Gracia is expecting to make changes, he says it will be difficult to drop some of the star performers from midweek:
"It has always been difficult from the first day. They played well in the Carabao Cup because they are good professionals and they have trained very well from the first day.
"It has been difficult for me having to choose 18 players and only 11 in the line-up. It's very difficult to choose and leave some players out of the team."
Pochettino is understandably happy about his team’s start to the season, but has warned his players about becoming complacent:
"After three games they're over the moon. Of course if we're not ready and we believe because we beat Manchester United 3-0 that all is fantastic, I think we are going to crash.”
