    Watford 0-1 Tottenham

    Kieran Trippier has been a decent outlet for Spurs and the right-back is again in an advanced position to send in a threatening cross which keeper Heurelho Gomes punches away with Harry Kane lurking.

    Watford 0-1 Tottenham

    Spurs striker Harry Kane opts to shoot from 25 yards and sees his effort go well high and wide. The effort doesn't go down too well with team-mate Erik Lamela, who feels the better option was to pass to him.

    Just what is Eric Dier's best position? Defensive midfielder? Full-back? Centre-back?

    Today he's taking up a bit of a sweeper role in front of Hugo Lloris (aka Hugh Laurie by certain Spurs fans...)

    A worry for Spurs fans. Dele Alli stays down after going up for a header and then holds his left hip as he gets up and limps away.

    Watford managed to come back from a goal down to earn a draw at Chelsea on Boxing Day but they might have a tougher task of a repeat as Spurs look on it today.

    Watford 0-1 Tottenham

    First sight of goal for Watford striker Odion Ighalo. Moments after he complained of having his shirt pulled by Jan Vertonghen as they tussled for a cross, he meets a Nathan Ake cross with a first-time left-foot shot which he sends wide.

    John Hartson
    Former Wales striker on BBC Final Score

    "Lamela has picked up the ball in the Watford half. He is a positive player and carries the ball, running forward with one thing on his mind - to get an attempt on target. He has given Gomes the eyes, looked at the near post and whipped it to the far post."

    Watford 0-0 Tottenham

    Watford strike duo Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo have been causing teams all sorts of problems and they combine to win the home side a corner. 

    Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris makes a mess of trying to catch the ball, which is cleared to Etienne Capoue and the ex-Spurs man sends his shot well off target.
