Tottenham Hotspur vs. Watford 2017: game time, TV channels, and how to watch Premier League online

After two weeks touring the stadia of various lower-table clubs in the Premier League (and beating them), Tottenham Hotspur return to the friendly confines of White Hart Lane to face Watford. Or, if you factor in Watford’s injury list, it’s more like they’re playing Watf.

Seriously, just look at this injury list for the HornetMoose ahead of the match tomorrow:

Out: Behrami, Kaboul, Oularé, Pereyra, Prödl, Suárez, Watson, Zárate

Banned: Britos

Doubtful: Capoue, Cleverley, Deeney, Doucouré, Gomes, Kabasele

That’s... a lot of players. Watford boss Walter Mazzarri literally said he has “no defense.” You have to think that a few of the people on this list will probably go tomorrow, as players like Capoue and Deeney were listed as doubts due to “exhaustion.” But still, place a horrifically injured Watford against a Tottenham side that hasn’t lost at home all season, and one that’s set to welcome Harry Kane back to the squad... yeeesh. This could be a bloodbath.

Oh, and that reminds me: HARRY KANE’S BACK! Mauricio Pochettino announced that Spurs’ talismanic striker returned to full training this week, and while he may not start the match, he could make the bench. That’s a huge confidence boost for a Spurs team that has been a little banged up lately, but has still won four games on the trot.

We also could see a Premier League debut for Pau Lopez! Spurs’ third-string on loan goalkeeper could be pressed into duty today, since Hugo Lloris is reportedly still sick and Michel Vorm injured his knee on Wednesday against Swansea.

You never want to take any Premier League match for granted, but this has the makings of a game that Spurs can rest players for and still win easily. Holding serve here means Spurs stay at least five points ahead of Liverpool with a game in hand, seven in front of City, and eleven in front of Arsenal. At what point can we say “mind the gap”?

COYS.
