Tottenham have the chance to pile the pressure on Premier League leaders Chelsea by beating Watford in the early kick-off on Saturday (12.30pm kick-off).

Mauricio Pochettino’s men left it very late to overcome Swansea 3-1 at the Liberty Stadium on Wednesday night to record a fifth straight league win, and keep them within seven points of Antonio Conte’s Blues after they got the better of Manchester City on the same night.

However, Spurs have the chance to reduce that gap to four points by beating Walter Mazzarri’s Hornets at White Hart Lane, and what with Chelsea facing a potentially tricky trip to Bournemouth later in the day, the pressure could certainly be on Conte’s men should Tottenham pick up the win.

Yet, it won’t be easy for Pochettino’s side against a Watford team that have won their last two league games, and currently sit tenth in the division.

Mazzarri’s men have won ten of their 30 Premier League matches this season to sit nine points clear of the bottom three, and know that victory on Saturday would take them to that coveted 40-point mark.

Nonetheless, Spurs will be big favourites going into Saturday’s encounter, but given how lethargic Pochettino’s men were for large parts against Swansea, the Tottenham boss could make some changes on Saturday.

Thus, here are THREE Spurs players who deserve a chance against Watford…
