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.

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.
