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

It’s already been a good weekend for Tottenham Hotspur. Son Heung-Min won a gold at the Asian Games yesterday and got himself an exemption from two years of mandatory military service. Whatever happens today, it probably won’t wipe the smile I get on my face whenever I see that video of Sonny waving the Korean flags.

The Premier League has been pretty good to Spurs this season. They’ve taken nine points from three matches, including a big 3-0 win against United at Old Trafford this past Monday. Their reward is a deceptively tough Watford squad at Vicarage Road, one who also has started the season by winning three matches from three. The Hornet-Moose are led by Roberto Pereyra, who has three goals already, and Troy Deeney, who can give any center back in the league something to think about. Anyone who thinks Watford will be an easy out is likely due for a disappointment.

But Spurs have an in-form Harry Kane and Lucas Moura, and while their wingbacks haven’t been stellar they do have Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen to anchor the back line. We predicted that Mauricio Pochettino might revert to the back three against Watford, who basically run the dang 4-4-2. Whatever formation they use, Spurs have already been cautioned about complacency by Poch, and they’ll need to play well to get a result on the road today.

COYS!
