Your support makes all the difference.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.
