Watford host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League this afternoon.

Watford starting line-up: Foster; Janmaat, Cathcart, Kabasele, Holebas; Hughes, Doucoure, Capoue, Pereyra; Gray, Deeney.

Watford substitutes: Gomes, Mariappa, Femenia, Masina, Chalobah, Sema, Success.

Tottenham Hotspur starting line-up: Vorm; Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Sanchez, Davies; Dembele, Eriksen, Dele; Lucas, Kane.

Tottenham Hotspur substitutes: Gazzaniga, Rose, Walker-Peters, Dier, Wanyama, Winks, Llorente.

Watford are looking to continue their 100% start to the season with another win today, having beaten Crystal Palace 2-1 at Vicarage Road last week.

The Hornets unsurprisingly remain unchanged then, with Ben Foster in goal, and a back four of Daryl Janmaat, Craig Cathcart, Christian Kabasele and Jose Holebas ahead of him.

Will Hughes and Roberto Pereyra feature out wide with Abdoulaye Doucoure and ex-Tottenham man Etienne Capoue in the heart of midfield, leaving Troy Deeney and Andre Gray up top.

Nathaniel Chalobah returns to the Watford bench, alongside Adrian Mariappa, Kiko Femenia, Adam Masina, Ken Sema, Isaac Success and former Spurs goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes.

Meanwhile, Tottenham make the short trip to Hertfordshire having thrashed Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford on Monday night, meaning they also head into the game with a 100% record.

Hugo Lloris misses out today, meaning Michel Vorm steps in, whilst Mauricio Pochettino has gone back to five across defence, with Kieran Trippier, Toby Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez, Jan Vertonghen and Ben Davies across the back.

Moussa Dembele will sit in midfield with Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli ahead of him, whilst Lucas Moura will support Harry Kane in attack after their superb displays against United.

That means that Eric Dier and Danny Rose drop to the bench, alongside Paulo Gazzaniga, Kyle Walker-Peters, Victor Wanyama, Harry Winks and Fernando Llorente.
