Tottenham may select third-choice keeper Pau Lopez against Watford with Hugo Lloris and Michel Vorm doubtful

Pau Lopez is on stand-by for a first Premier League start for Tottenham with doubts over first-choice goalkeepers Hugo Lloris and Michel Vorm.

Lloris missed the 3-1 victory over Swansea on Wednesday after being struck down by a virus and is still being monitored ahead of the home match against Watford on Saturday.

Vorm, meanwhile, has a knee problem and is almost certain to miss the game. Lopez is a 22-year-old Spanish goalkeeper who is on loan from Espanyol.
