Spurs fans were treated to a video of a 4-1 win over Watford from 2017 as the club prepares to face Nigel Pearson’s side at Vicarage Road on Saturday.
The club posted a video of the goals from the win against Watford on New Year’s Day 2017 in which both Harry Kane and Dele Alli notched braces to see Mauricio Pochettino’s side claim a comfortable victory. Jose Mourinho will be hoping for a similar performance when his side travels to Watford for Saturday’s game, although he will, of course, be without Kane, who was recently ruled out until April with a hamstring injury.
Spurs currently sit eighth in Premier League after a disappointing start to 2020, whilst Watford have seen their fortunes improve after the appointment of Nigel Pearson; who has managed to help the club out of the relegation places.
Will Spurs beat Watford on Saturday?
Yes
No

Trippier’s distribution on the right was something else he was consistent

We were actually different gear that season, criminal that we didn’t win something that year

Ridiculous how good Dele used to be

Back when Eriksen played for the badge

These Spurs fans clearly enjoyed the video of the win, with some fans recalling the form of Kieran Trippier, Christian Eriksen and Alli from the 2016/17 season.
What do we think?
This represents a great chance for Spurs to put themselves back in contention for a top-four spot but Watford are in great form at the moment so it could be a really tough game for Mourinho’s side.
