Tottenham Hotspur vs Watford Prediction

Tottenham Hotspur have made an assured start under new manager Nuno Espirito Santo. Star striker Harry Kane has announced that he intends to stay at the club this summer amid interest from Manchester City, and this decision will surely be received positively by Tottenham Hotspur fans. With Kane in the first XI, Tottenham Hotspur have what it takes to enjoy a good 2021/22 season.

It was incredible to see the reception from the Spurs fans on Sunday and to read some of the messages of support I've had in the last few weeks. 👏⚽I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success. #COYS pic.twitter.com/uTN78tHlk1

Watford, on the other hand, have made some shrewd signings so far. Imran Louza, Juraj Kucka, Ashley Fletcher and Joshua King have been added to the squad, but they are yet to truly inspire confidence. Manager Xisco Munoz will be under immense pressure already, with Watford renowned for sacking managers on a regular basis.

Tottenham Hotspur have looked good under their new boss, and Kane's return will surely help. A win seems likely here.

Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Watford
