The Hornets went into Christmas on a four-game losing streak which pushed them within two points of the relegation zone.
In contrast, Spurs were unbeaten in five Premier League matches heading into their tussle with Crystal Palace on Boxing Day and have enjoyed an upturn in results since Antonio Conte's arrival in north London.
Talking after a thrilling 2-2 draw with Liverpool on the 19th of December, Spurs club captain Hugo Lloris underlined the club's desire to keep on improving as they aim to climb their way into the top four.
“We have ambition to win every game and when that doesn’t happen, of course, we need to analyse the performance, where we can improve individually and collectively, but the most important thing is that you feel all the players give their best, 100 per cent," Lloris said.

Spurs have had the better of this fixture over the last few seasons and beat Watford 1-0 in the reverse fixture back in August on the back of a solitary Son Heung-min strike.
The result stretched their unbeaten run in this fixture to four matches.
