Tottenham Hotspur take on Watford this weekend in a game that looks like something of a banana skin for Jose Mourinho’s men.

Nigel Pearson’s resurgent Hornets have not lost any of their last five Premier League games and have subsequently climbed out of the relegation zone.

Spurs, by comparison, have not won in the league since Boxing Day when they defeated Brighton & Hove Albion.

A 2-1 win over Middlesbrough in midweek sealed their progression in the FA Cup, though, and one feels that Jose Mourinho could make some serious changes to his XI this weekend.

Football FanCast takes a look at the XI he should pick.

Paulo Gazzaniga is almost certain to play in goal, with Hugo Lloris still not fit to return.

The big fat Tottenham quiz of 2019 - how much do you remember about the last year at Spurs?

In defence, Japhet Tanganga played excellently against Boro and was awarded the Man of the Match award. He was deployed on the right of the defence in that game and one feels that he should be returned to his natural centre-back role this weekend.

That would allow Serge Aurier to play at right-back, with Tanganga joined in the centre of defence by Toby Alderweireld. Davinson Sanchez did not play well in the cup tie and could use a spell out of the team.

Left-back is difficult, with Ben Davies injured and Danny Rose out of match practice - he was left out of the squad for three successive games before playing 69 minutes against Liverpool - so Ryan Sessegnon filling in, as a wing-back, makes sense.

In attacking midfield, Giovani Lo Celso scored against Boro and is an assured ball carrier, plus an excellent passer, and he should be played in front of both Eric Dier and Harry Winks.

Tanguy Ndombele continues to struggle with injury issues, per Mourinho, and playing a natural defensive midfielder alongside Winks will free him up to properly impact the game in the final third.

On the right, Erik Lamela was also on the scoresheet versus Boro and offers more assiduity than Lucas Moura on the flank.

Featuring Son Heung-Min on the left flank will allow him to drift inside and potentially crack shots off at goal, with Dele Alli played in a perhaps unfamiliar role.

He has thrived as a shadow striker previously behind Harry Kane, scoring 18 goals in the 2016/17 Premier League season, suggesting that he would be able to work in a false nine role, leading the attack but holding the option to drop off too.

Meanwhile, Spurs could sell a major star to PSG...
