Watford vs Tottenham



Sunday 2nd September
Kick off 4pm at Vicarage Road
Live on Sky Sports from 3:30pm

Two teams with a perfect record so far go head to head in a North London derby.

While Tottenham have won the first four games of a Premier League Premier League campaign before, a win for Watford would propel the Hornets to new heights

Watford have had five previous Premier League seasons and in the opening three matches have amasses 13 points in 15 games. That rather demonstrates how well they are performing this season with 9 points out of a possible 9.

Against Spurs Watford are winless. In 13 matches they have drawn 3 and lost 10.

Last season Watford were unbeaten after four games and their season could be split into two. Their home form was good, their away form was abysmal.

Watford’s Roberto Pereyra has had a hand in nine goals in his last nine Premier League appearances at Vicarage Road, 7 goals and 2 assists.

Gino Pozzo has rejected a formal offer of £125 million for a 35.7% stake from New York-based media company Prolific Media Holdings. They value Watford at £350 million. 

Tottenham have also made a better start to this season than last. Last season after three games Spurs had just 4 points.

Spurs ended the 2017/18 English Premier League as the second-strongest away team, winning 10 games, drawing 4 games and losing 5 games. Nine of the ten wins were against sides outside of the top six, hence all the talk about the Manchester United result.

Harry Kane has scored 4 goals against Watford.

Stat attack: 63% of Watford’s home matches last season produced over 2.5 goals.
In the last four home encounters against Spurs, Watford have been shown 15 yellow cards (3.75 on average). 

Tottenham have scored in 20 of their last 21 away matches in all competitions.

  1. Watford have started very well - particularly when you consider they've lost their Brazillian Richarlison.

    With Lucas on the pitch though, I expect they'll clock up the yellow cards quickly - always assuming the ref actually turns up to apply the rules of course. Certainly not something we've been able to rely on very heavily recently.

    Nevertheless I expect we'll be too strong for the Hornets on the day.

    COYS!!
  2. What-ho you lot...I have been 'incommunicado' since Thursday...did you not miss me?
    Therefore did not see the game which judging from the blogosphere, may have been a result.
    As long as we continue to average 2+ points a game (especially during these early games) then we will be there or thereabouts to qualify for the CL.
    That said, Sunday's result does add to the pressure when we play L'pool next...you would have thought that our players would therefore have appreciated the significance of achieving a result at Vicarage Road.
  3. Ignore comments saying Watford deserved the points. We were all over them for over an hour. Unfortunately, as is our wont too often, we didn't make that domination pay. Even our goal was an own goal.

    Watford played well mind. They defended very reliably. We dominated but conceded two headers from set pieces. One may have been questionable but I've seen them given often enough. So few refs seem to understand that to place yourself between another player and the ball is perfectly acceptable as long as you are withing playing distance of the ball.

    At the end of the day though, if we continue to concede headed goals from these at such a rate then we can dominate all we want and still drop points.

    On the day Watford kept their discipline pretty well - in spite of having to deal with a fair amount of pressure, and for very long periods at a time.

    It wasn't a boring game by any means. A great deal of decent football played - even if the penetration wasn't as good as it ma…
