We take a look ahead to the Monday night Premier League match at Wembley between Tottenham and Watford.

Spurs: Danny Rose is in contention to play following three weeks out with a calf injury. Harry Winks is still continuing his rehab from an ankle injury.

Watford: Two big names could return for the 'Hornets' as Gerard Deulofeu has been ruled fit to play. Troy Deeney is also in contention following reports to the contrary. Roberto Pereyra faces a late fitness test but Stefano Okaka, Tom Cleverley, Nathaniel Chalobah, Younès Kaboul and Tommie Hoban will all miss out.

Mauricio Pochettino: Training has been good. It was difficult from the beginning (of the week) but now we’ve moved on and we’ve a massive objective in the last four games to try to win, try to keep our position and finish well.It’s important to finish well and it will be a massive success for the Club to finish in the top four and play in the Champions League again in our new stadium. After playing all season away from home that would be amazing.

Javi Gracia: We are looking forward to the game and, like in all the games, we will try to get the points. I know it’s difficult because Tottenham are a very good team with high quality who are very well organised. They have many good players and I’m sure they will play with their best players because in this moment of the season they don’t need to think about other competitions. To defend well [against a team like Tottenham] you need all the team and you need to have a good balance. We did it against Chelsea, and against Crystal Palace last week.
