Your support makes all the difference.Tottenham Hotspur are looking to keep pace with Premier League leaders Liverpool as Mauricio Pochettino’s side look for a fourth consecutive win of the season when they travel to Watford .
Spurs can join the Reds and Chelsea at the top of the table, but they face a Watford side that also boasts a 100 per cent record this season with three wins from three. But Spurs will be looking to take momentum from their victory over Manchester United last Monday night, and with Harry Kane and Lucas Moura both in-form, a testing day looks on the cards for the Hornets.
Watford manager Javi Gracia has a near-full-strength side to choose from, but Spurs are without injured goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris as well as midfielder Moussa Sissoko, while Son Heung-min remains on international duty. Erik Lamela is also a doubt as he faces a late fitness test at Vicarage Road.

You wouldn't put it past him given United's first half performance.
Long ranger from Christian Eriksen but it's a really easy one for Ben Foster to gather.
Early tester, mind you.
50 mins: Another long ranger from Eriksen and another easy take for Foster.
Will we get a third time lucky in the next few minutes?
Capoue goes into the book for pulling down Vertonghen while Spurs were on the break.
Eriksen was annoyed the referee didn't allow the quick free kick.
WATFORD 0-1 TOTTENHAM (Lucas, 53)
A really very awful goal if you're looking in from a Watford perspective.
Lucas crosses in and the ball rebounds off Doucoure and slowly bounces in.
It was a really cruel goal to watch and is just one of those things that happen. Spurs joining Chelsea and Liverpool on maximum points as things stand.
The United game has opened up much more with both sides threatening more but if the Reds strike again, you'd have to think it was game over from a Burnley perspective.
Manchester United are under no pressure and are just passing the ball around the back at the moment.
57 mins: Holebas hits his free kick into the wall and Spurs clear any possible danger.
Half an hour to go.
