Tottenham take on Watford at White Hart Lane hoping to keep up the pressure on Chelsea in the Premier League title race.

A win for Spurs would take them to within four points of the top, before league leaders Chelsea play away to Bournemouth later today.

Both teams have a number of injuries to contend with, although captain Hugo Lloris does return for Spurs.

Watford meanwhile will be playing 'without a defence' according to manager Walter Mazzarri because of a number of injuries and a suspension for Sebastian Prödl.

What time is it?

The game kicks off at 12.30pm at White Hart Lane.

What channel is it on?

The game is on Sky Sports 1 with coverage beginning at 11.30am.

It’s a big game for…

Vincent Janssen. All has not gone to plan since the big Dutchman's arrival in the Premier League and with Harry Kane now on his way back he'll need a positive performance to stay in his manager's thoughts.

Earlier this season...

Player to watch…

Dele Alli. The England man has been on fire since the turn of the year and has scored five in his last eight games in all competitions. With Kane still working his way back Alli is Spurs' main attacking threat.

GOAL

STOKE 1 - 2 LIVERPOOL

Firmino doubles Liverpool's scoring in quick succession, also after being introduced at half time. The Brazilian picks up an over the top ball and smashes it home past a helpless Grant. Two correct substitutions from Klopp, it seems.

WEST HAM 1 - 0 SWANSEA

Lanzini fires a free kick towards the goal, but it flies high and wide. Wasteful for a man of such ability.

Correct decision from Klopp.

WEST BROM 0 - 1 SOUTHAMPTON

What a chance for The Baggies! Forster parries a cross from McClean into the path of Robson-Kanu, but he fails to convert and fires the attempt over.

GOAL

MANCHESTER CITY 3 - 1 HULL

Ranocchia scores from close range following a pull back from Maloney. That is the defenders second goal for The Tigers.

WEST HAM 1 - 0 SWANSEA

Lanzini beats two with sublime skill, before he sends the ball across to Calleri, but the final strike can only rattle the side netting.

WEST HAM 1 - 0 SWANSEA

Byram bravely puts his body in front of a strike from Sigurdsson to deny the 27-year-old an equaliser.

FULL TIME SCORES

Manchester City 3 - 1 Hull City

Stoke 1 - 2 Liverpool

West Ham 1 - 0 Swansea

Middlesbrough 0 - 0 Burnley

West Brom 0 - 1 Southampton 

Up next, Bournemouth host Chelsea.

The pressure at the top of the pile continues for Conte's men as Spurs steal yet another three points today. The title tussle slowly reaches its climax and it looks like a two horse race, with Tottenham staying closely on Chelsea's tail. A win today here at Dean Court is vital for the visitors.

Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last five top-flight fixtures and a win today will elevate them to tenth in the table. 

It's all to play for today for both sides.
