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.

Form guide…

Tottenham: W W W W W

Watford: D L L W W

Odds…

Tottenham: 1/4

Draw: 11/2

Watford: 14/1

Substitution: Janssen is replaced by Kane.

The introduction of the Tottenham main man ignites a loud roar from the home crowd, following his absence due to an ankle injury.

Eriksen delivers a free kick into the box from a wide angle, but it fails to beat the first Watford man. Okaka clears the ball to safety.

An ingenious back-heeled flick from Okaka puts Success through, but the Nigerians strike flies wide of the far post.

68 MINS

Niang threads a ball through to Okaka, but Lloris rapidly bursts out from his goal to slide in and win possession. It's a risk from the French keeper, but this time it paid off.

Substitution: Amrabat is replaced by Deeney. 

The introduction of Wednesday's goalscorer has appeared to inject some life into the Watford fans.

73 MINS

Deeney finds some space inside the area, but he fails to find the target. He controls the ball with his chest, but the strike proves no problem for Lloris.

Substitution: Dembele is replaced by Sissoko.

76 MINS

Cleverley attempts to send a Watford free kick into the area, but it's over hit and it flies out of play. Mazzarri will not be impressed to see his side waste such a crucial chance.

79 MINS

Alli attempts to put Kane through on goal, but Cathcart manages to get the slightest of touches on the ball to guide it away from the strikers path.

81 MINS

Kane generously feeds Son inside of the area, but the on-form forward fails to hit the target from close range. The 24-year-old is hungry for his hat-trick.
