Team news

Tottenham will assess Danny Rose in the build-up to their Premier League game with Watford on Monday night.

The left-back has missed the last three games with a calf injury, but returned to training on Friday.

That leaves Harry Winks as the only absentee as he recovers from an ankle injury while Hugo Lloris will return in goal after sitting out the FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester United.

Watford have a number of injury concerns.

Boss Javi Gracia could have Gerard Deulofeu back after a throat infection but has several players struggling to be fit.

Nathaniel Chalobah (knee) is back in training but is likely to miss out while Gracia also noted Roberto Pereyra (groin) could feature while Younes Kaboul (foot), Tom Cleverley (hamstring) and Stefano Okaka (unspecified) are out.

Teams

Tottenham (from): Lloris, Vorm, Gazzaniga, Trippier, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Foyth, Rose, Sanchez, Davies, Dier, Wanyama, Dembele, Eriksen, Sissoko, Alli, Son, Moura, Lamela, Llorente, Kane.

Watford (from): Karnezis, Janmaat, Prodl, Mariappa, Femenia, Holebas, Doucoure, Hughes, Capoue, Pereyra, Deeney, Gomes, Britos, Cathcart, Richarlison, Chabolah, Gray, Carrillo, Kabasele
