I foresee a very physical game, particularly from Capoue, on a roughed up pitch but feel we have more than enough ability to claim a hard fought win.

I think the main problem is Deeney who often drops deep now, into the hole, and roughs you up. Hope Dembele's fit.

 

[guate]

I agree thinktank, I probably should have added that Capoue will be out to prove a point

 

[Mr Pink]

Yeah fully expect this to be a tough game. Providing our energy levels don't drop too much I'm pretty confident though.

Can definitely see goals in this.Think we'll edge 2-1.

You were only 3 away from your '6-0' yesterday, mate. Two and a half Peronis less and you'd have been bang on.

This will be tough no doubt. Both sides in good form. Win will put us third with City playing on Tuesday.

Oh and here's my preview for the game: http://www.premierleaguepreview.co.uk/2015/12/watford-v-tottenham-hotspur-match.html

 

[Mr Pink]

Looks like Dembele is fine, good news for tomorrow as we'll need his strength and power against a pretty physical Watford side.

I hope he doesnt play. He's had a history of hip issues. Dont want to overwork it. 2 matches in 48 hours is a bit too much.

Yeah you have a point, and I do think he's very important to us.

I guess its down to how he feels and the management though. If he feels good enough I still think we should play him, Watford are a tough physical side.

..and then there is the Octopus to consider...

I have seen a lot of Watford this season and can tell you now this will be a though match.

 

[Lamelad]

They should be tired though. If we play to our level, we will get the points.

A good game from Eriksen might be key. Son also needs to get on the score sheet.

Good news that he's fit but I can't see poch starting him tomorrow as dembele is one of the few who poch rests when we play games close together

 

[Mr Pink]

Yeah its more than possible that he'll be thinking of Everton away regarding Dembele.

I'm a Luton boy so hope we blast these Watford mopes back to the Stone Age tomorrow.

What is a though match?

 

[Monkey boy]

Missed the Boxing Day game due to family commitments so I'm now doubly looking forward to this.

Think we can win this and send a real statement of intent to the rest of the league.

In before Gomes has one of his world class days
