Tottenham have lost two out of their last three, and take on Watford next.
A fantastic start to the season for Tottenham Hotspur has turned sour.
In the space of a few weeks they have gone from considering themselves title contenders, to suddenly battling just to get into the top four.
They can fall back to sixth place tonight if Liverpool win at Stoke, having already fallen behind rivals Arsenal.
Spurs have gained just one point from their last three games, suffering losses to Arsenal and Leicester, drawing with West Bromwich Albion.
And it could be about to get even worse.
This weekend Spurs travel to Watford, who have been the Premier League’s surprise package.
The Hornets lost 4-2 against Manchester United in midweek, but Spurs have not shown the same attacking flair recently to suggest they can tear Watford apart in the same way.
Tottenham last scored more than two goals in a league game back on October 22, and have netted just twice in their last three matches.
Defensively they have been below par too, constantly changing their full-backs, and missing Toby Alderweireld in central defence.
Without Victor Wanyama (injured) or Eric Dier (shifted to centre-back), Spurs have looked weaker in midfield than last season, and a dangerous Watford side could take advantage.
Tottenham cannot afford to go a fourth league game without a win, but they will find it tough against Watford and have put themselves in a difficult position.
