Tottenham Hotspur are set to play Watford at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday in the English Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur come into this game on the back of a 1-0 win over Bruno Lage's Wolverhampton Wanderers in their most recent league fixture. A first-half penalty from midfielder Dele Alli was enough to seal the deal for Nuno Espirito Santo's Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Watford, on the other hand, beat Patrick Vieira's Crystal Palace 1-0 in the second round of the EFL Cup. A late second-half goal from striker Ashley Fletcher ensured victory for Xisco Munoz's Watford.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Watford Prediction
Tottenham Hotspur have made an assured start under new manager Nuno Espirito Santo. Star striker Harry Kane has announced that he intends to stay at the club this summer amid interest from Manchester City, and this decision will surely be received positively by Tottenham Hotspur fans. With Kane in the first XI, Tottenham Hotspur have what it takes to enjoy a good 2021/22 season.
Watford, on the other hand, have made some shrewd signings so far. Imran Louza, Juraj Kucka, Ashley Fletcher and Joshua King have been added to the squad, but they are yet to truly inspire confidence. Manager Xisco Munoz will be under immense pressure already, with Watford renowned for sacking managers on a regular basis.
Tottenham Hotspur have looked good under their new boss, and Kane's return will surely help. A win seems likely here.
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Watford
