Mauricio Pochettino proud of his side after Spurs' win over Newcastle

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to keep pace with Premier League leaders Liverpool as Mauricio Pochettino’s side look for a fourth consecutive win of the season when they travel to Watford .

Spurs can join the Reds and Chelsea at the top of the table, but they face a Watford side that also boasts a 100 per cent record this season with three wins from three. But Spurs will be looking to take momentum from their victory over Manchester United last Monday night, and with Harry Kane and Lucas Moura both in-form, a testing day looks on the cards for the Hornets.

Watford manager Javi Gracia has a near-full-strength side to choose from, but Spurs are without injured goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris as well as midfielder Moussa Sissoko, while Son Heung-min remains on international duty. Erik Lamela is also a doubt as he faces a late fitness test at Vicarage Road.

United fans weren't a happy bunch during the transfer window and that has continued on into their difficult start in the Premier League. 

This has now just flown over Turf Moor pre-kick off.

United are on the front foot early on and good work from Lukaku sets up Lingard who's shot looks like it's gone in but it hits the stantion and ripples the net from behind.

4 mins: Positive start at Vicarage Road from both sides too with Tottenham doing most of the running. 

Sun kissed pitch and two teams with full confidence. Should be a good game.

United are donning their brand new pink away kit and the fans are making themselves heard loud and clear in their support for Mourinho. 

It's been a really bright start, not just from the kits.
