4. Pererya and Moura score as Watford and Tottenham draw
While Tottenham may have been expected to be flying high in the Premier League, not many fans will have expected Watford to be alongside Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
The Hornets have had an excellent start to the season with three wins from three. What makes those wins more impressive is the fact none were easy games — especially an away win at Burnley.
Javi Gracia seems to have a great grip on his squad and not only has them winning but also playing good soccer. The Spanish manager will hope that continues on Sunday as his side welcome Spurs to Vicarage Road.
Tottenham will be equally ready for this match after their impressive win over Manchester United on Monday. Pochettino won’t be saying this any time soon but he might be beginning to think this is his year to finally win a trophy as Spurs manager.
Tottenham’s problems will always be their lack of strength in depth when it comes to their squad but right now they’ve got no such issues. With Heung-min Son away on international duty, Lucas Moura has stepped into the squad and made a big impression with three goals in three games.
Moura will almost be the first name on the team sheet right now as his pace and skill make him almost unplayable. Watford have their own playmaker in Roberto Pererya who opened the scoring against Crystal Palace last week.
The Argentine midfielder has tons of ability and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see this match turn into a bit of a duel between these two attack-minded players. Both players are high on confidence and there’s a good chance they’ll both net in what should be a close and entertaining match.
