Tottenham aim to continue their unbeaten Premier League run under new manager Antonio Conte on New Year's Day when they make the short trip to Watford.

Spurs have recorded four league wins and three draws since Conte took charge, although they are yet to win on the road under the Italian.

Watford, meanwhile, have taken just six points from 10 matches since appointing Claudio Ranieri in October, with the Hornets having lost each of their last five games.

Watford's top scorer this season is Emmanuel Dennis and, with five goals in his last six games, the Nigerian is in superb form.

Watford vs Tottenham preview

Spurs were disappointed with their midweek 1-1 draw at Southampton having played most of the game with a man advantage and seeing two goals ruled out by VAR.

Winning on the road is something the capital club are yet to achieve under Conte, although they have only played two matches away from home since the Italian took charge.

Nevertheless, the trip to Watford provides the perfect opportunity for the side to pick up three points against one of the most out-of-form teams in the division.

Watford have not kept a clean sheet at home in the Premier League for 14 games and have the fourth worst defensive record in the English top flight.

Spurs are creating plenty of chances while proving clinical and the visitors will feel confident of causing the hosts problems on Saturday afternoon.
