History of the Watford v Tottenham Hotspur Fixture

Watford play host to Tottenham Hotspur at Vicarage Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 2 of the 9 games played, and losing 5.

The last time the two teams met at Watford was back in March 2000, over five years ago, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 score line in a Premiership match.

Watford are still searching for their first Premiership victory of the campaign and here at the Golden Boys we feel that success is about to arrive this weekend.
