Big game no doubt. They gave us a tough time at their ground but they've fallen away a little since then.

Get an early goal and we should be fine.

Just read that Watford have 22 different nationalities in their squad. That's a lot.

Carry on.

Very important to carry on our excellent form and belief into the game at City next weekend - thats the key for me.

That's like every country in the world...

I really hope we win this comfortably. A clean sheet would be nice too.

The confidence that will give the boys going into the Man City game will be invaluable...COYS

Expect a tough enough game but a couple of things in our favour compared to some other home games we've encountered this season.

First off we've had an extra 24 hours to recover and prepare, that's always a fairly significant advantage in my eyes.

Secondly they play 4-4-2 so the midfield won't be overloaded so we should dominate that area but with some space and time as well, albeit they'll be a threat on the counter with the power and pace of their two up top.

They do work hard off the ball and are well organized but having played last night that could well become a factor as the game wears on.

We'll probably have to be patient but I still think this is a game we'll win. Kane is really coming into goal scoring form now and I can't see them limiting us to so few chances that we are unable to take a couple.

See this ending 3-1 (who in the right mind would settle for a point at home to Watford)
It's been said that they may play more of a 4-3-1-2 to clog the midfield. Which is supposedly something they do away when they're on a pitch that isn't atrocious and they know the opposition will actually be able to make five yard passes with consistency.

On the flip side, if we lose against Watford, we usually come back with a few wins on the spin so long may that continue. Win win.

Or lose lose. Probably lose lose.

Presume and hope we'll be reverting to the 3 at the back tomorrow. Not only does it give insurance against the two up front, but also gives us superior width with our wing backs way higher than normal.

yeah i agree, the 3 at the back worked well against watford, It will be the same as before with dier going in the middle . I guess it's just who will go alongside dembele which will either be Bentaleb or Carroll.

I'm expecting a very, very tough game; but if we do the right things and stick to our gameplan we'll be ok.

they're all massive games from here on in. think it'll be very tight, 1-0 or 2-1, hope wimmer gets enough help against ighalo and gomes remembers he's a yid and throws one into his own net.

If Alli isn't deemed well enough yet to start, I guess Eriksen will come central, Chadli left and one of Lamela/Son from the right.

Maybe Poch can try 433 with Dier as DM, Ali and Dembele in front.... 3 attackers rotate with false 9 aka Barca.

I'm anxiously waiting for the game. As a self-preservation technique I've tempered my expectations. But here I am 4 hours before a game with, no disrespect, Watford, and I'm feeling like I do for a NLD.

COYS!
