    If you're not 100% right then Spurs have probably done the right thing by bringing Wanyama out of the frame all together.

    Tottenham 0-0 Watford

    Early corner for Spurs, whipped to the edge of the box by Christian Eriksen, where Jan Vertonghen's smash towards goal is blocked by a tangle of Watford legs. 

    It's as you'd expect it. Spurs with the slick passing. Watford dropping deep.

    Your tales of indoor football

    Gareth Harrison:  Indoor football at school...no teacher! Kicked the ball too high and smashed two strip lights! Evidence hidden behind a bench.

    James Jago: Mum told me 3 times to stop playing, decided to curl one more top bins of the sofa. Sliced it. Smashed her favourite ornament.

    Simon Holt: Playing on the patio with no shoes on a hot day, mis hit a half volley to only find i ripped my big toe nail clean off

    Bit of chat that Victor Wanyama - returning from a knee injury to make the bench - has got injured in the warm-up. 

    And Spurs have just confirmed he's been replaced. 

    Joshua Onomah, 19, replaces him.

  7. 'Watford fans are frustrated'published at 12:24 British Summer Time 8 April 2017

    Tottenham v Watford (12:30 BST)

    Football Focus

    Speaking on Football Focus, Jermaine Jenas says Watford fans have been frustrated more than they have been entertained this season.

    "It's been a really weird season for Watford," he said.

    "I've been to watch a few games this season and I don't think fans are entertained by what they are seeing. There are more frustrating games this season but they're getting points on the board and doing really well."

    It's fair to say Vincent Janssen's not set the world alight since his move to Spurs last summer. Just the one goal for him in 725 minutes of Premier League football this season - across 22 appearances. 

    He leads the line today, with Son Heung-min and and Christian Eriksen joining the dots in behind. 

    Janssen has only scored once for Tottenham in open play this season - in the 6-0 smashing of Millwall in the FA Cup in March.

    Tottenham v Watford (12:30 BST)

    Football Focus

    Three goals in seven minutes saw Spurs come from behind to beat Swansea midweek. Here's Jermaine Jenas' assessment:

    "It was absolutely huge. 88 minutes gone and losing 1-0 would have been the moment Mauricio Pochettino was asking questions of his team. Special moments like that in the season make them think maybe they do have a chance.

    "It tells you everything about how much that team have grown this season. They've gone from strength to strength."

    Martin Keown adds:

    "Spurs look better equipped. They're keeping this Premier League alive and are going to take this to the wire."

    I've just been corrected. Rightly so - I was getting ahead of myself saying Spurs can go 18 points clear of Arsenal today with a win. Of course it'd be 14. 

    But still, surely there'll be no St Totteringham's Day this year?..

    For the uninitiated, that's the day of the season when Spurs can no longer finish above their north London rivals. 

    The Gunners have had that pleasure for the past 21 seasons in a row...

    Manchester City v Hull (15:00 BST)

    Football Focus

    Hull City defender Harry Maguire was asked by Damian Johnson if he was surprised when Marco Silva was appointed as Mike Phelan's replacement:

    "We were to be honest. Credit to the chairman for bringing him in because his record is unbelievable. He hasn't lost a home game in about three years," said the 24-year-old.

    "He has come in and turned it around and we're all confident in the dressing room that we can stay in the Premier League.

    "When these big games come up against us we can produce performances like we did on Wednesday."

    Your tales of indoor football have been cracking this morning. We'll still take 'em if you're still to play your card. 

    But happy to hear how you see this one playing out too..

    Will Spurs' run extend to a sixth consecutive Premier League win? Will the Hornets - with little to play for and a bit of a makeshift side - be easy going? Or are we going to see another upset - and further advantage going Chelsea's way in the title race?

    Let us know what you reckon on #bbcfootball., external

    Your tales of indoor football

    Neil Butler: Living room footy. Shot from my brother forced a fingertip save, which smashed a lamp. The superglue repair was almost perfect.

    David Archer: Playing rugby in living room with my brother. I tackled him straight into coal fire place. Unfortunately it had a glass front

    Pasa Mustafa: Mum used to have porcelain plates on the hallway walls. Didn't last with my brother and I playing football down there though

    Afternoon all, a pretty glorious one too at that.

    Spurs could move within four points of Premier League leaders Chelsea - and 14 points ahead of Arsenal. Harry Kane's back in the squad, the sun's out... 

    But will Watford spoil the party like they did at the Emirates earlier this season?

    It's less than a week since Coventry City were winning the EFL Trophy at Wembley in front of around 75,000 fans, yet the Sky Blues could be relegated to League Two later.

    The fate of League One's bottom club will be sealed if they lose at home to Peterborough United (15:00 BST). Coventry could also go down if they win - depending on other results.

    At the bottom, Wigan Athletic have to beat relegated Rotherham United at the DW Stadium (15:00 BST) if they are to give themselves a chance of staying up.
