The Tottenham vs Watford clash next weekend will surely be a big test for Mauricio Pochettino given that the Lilywhites have managed to win just two out of their last five league games.
Currently, Spurs are ninth on the English Premier League table with only 11 points from their first eight games and in their last outing, they were handed a 3-0 defeat by Brighton way from home.
And this loss came just days after Spurs suffered a 7-2 thumping at the hands of Bayern Munich in the Champions League group stage.
Many believe that if Spurs cannot pick up a win vs the Hornets next weekend then there is every possibility that Daniel Levy might start searching for a new manager. But we think, it will not be easy to show Pochettino the door especially after what he has done for the club.
Having said all this, beating Watford at home should not be too tough a job since the Hornets are currently sitting at the bottom of the league table and have managed to pick up just three points in their first 8 matches.
