Hornets' Main Man Likely To Stay Lethal

He has 6 goals in 5 top flight games but the bookies remain sceptical simply because he plays for unfashionable Watford.

Spurs may be tough to beat but there’s no justification for Odion Ighalo being as long as 11/5 to score anytime on Monday given his current run of form.

The Nigerian is on a serious hot streak after finding the net in five consecutive top flight matches but in truth he’s blitzed the entire calendar year with 29 goals for Watford.

Crucially, the 26-year-old is having the number of opportunities you would expect a top goalscorer to have almost every match. He averages 3.5 shots per outing, the same as Aguero, and 3.1 of those shots are coming from inside the box. In other words, no wonder he’s scoring for fun!

Tottenham owed their clean sheet on Saturday to Hugo Lloris’s heroics but Odion Ighalo is surely bound to be more clinical than the Canaries’ strikers.
