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.

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.

84 MINS
Trippier opens up the Watford defence with a sublime ball to find Son. The forward looks up and connects nicely with the strike, but he is denied by the woodwork.
87 MINS
Success presses into the area, but he is quickly shut down by a sea of Tottenham shirts. Trippier dives in and knocks the ball away from the 21-year-old and out of play. Corner kick to The Hornets.
88 MINS
Substitution: Son is replaced by Onomah.
He didn't quite find the hat-trick that he so desperately wanted, but two goals and a terrific display will be surely be enough to please the Spurs fans. He came close to securing the match ball, but he was denied by the woodwork on two occasions.
90 MINS
There will be a minimum of three additional minutes. Mazzarri is eagerly awaiting that final whistle.
FULL TIME
TOTTENHAM 4 - 0 WATFORD
Spurs continue to close the gap on Chelsea at the top of the pile, following a top display against a lacklustre Watford side. Son scored two, along with Alli and Dier securing their place on the score sheet. The visitors started well, but this joy was short lived for Mazzarri and his men. This victory could prove pivotal for Spurs, especially if Chelsea slip up against Bournemouth later today.
