Richarlison As No.10, Deeney To Start – Predicted 3-5-1-1 Watford Line-up To Face Tottenham Hotspur

Predicted Watford Line-up To Face Tottenham In The Premier League

Marco Silva’s men fell to a depressing defeat at the hands of Manchester United, who put four past them on a night which could have seen a completely different result. The Hornets put up a fight late in the game but a wonder goal from Jesse Lingard meant that they were stranded at 8^th place in the points table.

Things will not get any easy for them this weekend, as they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the Vicarage Road, who are fresh from a loss to Leicester City. Spurs will go all out for a victory but Silva can surely dent their hopes at the top of the table.

Team News

Craig Cathcart, Nathaniel Chalobah, Isaac Success and Younes Kaboul remain the long-term absentees for the Hornets. Will Hughes picked up a niggle in the previous game but is expected to be fit for this game.

Formation: 3-5-1-1

Manager: Marco Silva

GK – Heurelho Gomes

Let in four goals against Manchester United but remains the first choice for Silva and should keep his place between the sticks.

CB – Adrian Mariappa

Was troubled all game by the Man United attack and will hope to have a better outing this time around.

CB – Christian Kabasele

Starting at the heart of the backline should be Kabasele, who needs to put in a better shift against Spurs.

CB – Miguel Britos

With Prodl not at his best, Britos should start this game on the left-hand side of the defence, pushing Kabasele to the middle.

RWB – Kiko Femenia

Femenia has cemented his place in the first-team under Silva and is expected to start his third game on the run, this weekend.

CM – Will Hughes

The 22-year old had a torrid time in the previous game but has been in decent form and could be the danger man for Watford in the middle of the park.

CDM – Abdoulaye Doucoure

Starting as the deepest of the midfielders should be Doucoure, who was one of the best players for his side in the embarrassing defeat to Manchester United.

CM – Tom Cleverly

The former Manchester United man had a terrible time against his former side and could be the weak link that Spurs would want to exploit in this game.

LWB – Marvin Zeegelaar

Up against the likes of Eriksen and co, Zeegelaar, who has been effective in recent games, will have his work cut out in this crunch clash.

CAM – Richarlison

The Brazilian put in a decent shift in the previous game and needs to be kept quiet if Spurs are to take anything from this game.

ST – Troy Deeney

Though Gray has been decent, Deeney put on a show after coming off the bench in the mid-week and should be used in the starting XI this weekend.

Here is how Watford might line up:
