Preview
West Ham head into this after a late defeat to Manchester United in their previous Premier League clash before the winter break 1-0 away.
Rashford scored with what turned out to be the last kick of the game to break the hearts of the Hammers in that one, as West Ham dropped out of the top 4.
This loss left them in 5th place with 37 points but they will look to get back into reckoning with a string of good results, starting here.
On the other hand, Watford played out a goalless draw vs Burnley away in their previous clash on Saturday.
This was Hodgson’s first match in charge of the Hornets and did a good job to gain a point from their travels.
Yet, they remain in the relegation zone with 15 points from 21 matches (18th place) and are winless in 10 attempts.
Both sides last met in December, where West Ham won 4-1 with Soucek, Benrahma, Noble and Vlasic finding the net.
