We provide analysis and best bets as the Hammers and the Hornets go head-to-head at the London Stadium.
Despite a disappointing result at Brighton, West Ham can take heart from their consistency at the London Stadium.
The Hammers have battled a crippling injury list to lose just one of their eight home matches under David Moyes, taking five points from their last three in the league.
And with Watford failing to win any of their last seven away games, Moyes’ side are a good bet to at least avoid defeat.
There have been goals at both ends in the hosts’ last four league encounters on home soil, and a repeat is worth backing on Saturday.
After a poor December and January, the Hornets rediscovered their scoring boots with an impressive 4-1 win over Chelsea on Monday, with on-loan Barcelona winger Gerard Deulofeu impressing.
And while the visitors didn’t concede in their last away game at Stoke, they still have plenty to prove defensively, having failed to keep a clean sheet in 10 of their previous 11 matches on the road.
The Hammers player most likely to do the damage is Javier Hernandez.
Having survived the injury epidemic that has hit his fellow attackers, Chicharito’s improvement has been key in West Ham’s steady accumulation of points.
The Mexican netted his second goal in four matches at Brighton last weekend, and used his intelligence inside the 18-yard box to win a penalty in the last home game against Crystal Palace.
Moyes can rely on him to do the business again.
