Watford have been the surprise team of the Premier League this season with three wins from their first three games as well as progressing in the Carabao Cup. They  are fourth in the table and attempt to make it four out of four with a home win against Tottenham who are second in the table and ahead of their opponents on goal difference after also winning all three games so far. Many were predicting a relegation battle for Watford and that number rose after they sold Richarlison to Everton. Their three league wins have come against Brighton and Hove Albion, Burnley and Crystal Palace, not the hardest of fixture lists to be fair. Now life is going to get a lot more difficult and we'll see just how good the Hornets are. Watford have gone 13 games against Tottenham without a win and last won a league game against them in 1987. Pererya has scored three goals so far this season and he'll need to be continuing that form if Watford want to keep their 100 percent record.

The visitors are fresh from their 3-0 win at Old Trafford on Monday and two of their three wins in the Premier League this season have come on their travels. Lucas Moura scored twice at United and has three for the season with Harry Kane already having two goals in three games having cured his problem of scoring in August. Spurs other two wins have come at Newcastle and home to Fulham and again look like challenging for the title. They have won five league games in a row and have just one defeat in their last 12 away league matches. This will be the big test for Watford and the suggested bet is to go for a Tottenham away win after that impressive win on Monday.
