Tottenham Hotspur will face Watford at White Hart Lane in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker Michael Owen has predicted on Betvictor.com that Tottenham Hotspur will win against Watford this weekend.

Tottenham will face Watford at White Hart Lane in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Owen has backed Spurs to win the encounter in North London and pick up all three points.

“Spurs leap-frogged North London rivals Arsenal with a comprehensive 3-0 defeat of Norwich midweek, with teenager Dele Alli subsequently cut to 2/5 (from 5/4) to follow in the footsteps of team-mate Harry Kane to be named the PFA Young Player of the Year after a string of eye-catching performances,” the former England international striker wrote on Betvictor.com.

“Both players will be instrumental to Spurs’ chances of silverware this season, not to mention England’s chances during this summer’s European Championships, and should guide them to victory over Watford at White Hart Lane.”

A footnote added: “Michael’s recommendation: Tottenham Half-Time/Full-Time at 5/4 with BetVictor.”

Tottenham are third in the Premier League table at the moment with 45 points from 24 matches. Mauricio Pochettino’s side are five points behind leaders Leicester City and are very much in the running for the league title.

Meanwhile, Watford currently find themselves ninth in the standings with 33 points from 24 games. The Hornets will head into the game against Spurs on the back of a goalless draw with Chelsea at Vicarage Road in the league.

Tottenham will be favourites to win on Saturday afternoon, as they are at home and also have the better team. However, Watford are doing well at the moment and can earn a draw at White Hart Lane.
