West Ham United face Watford on Tuesday

West Ham United are back in action in the Premier League as they welcome Watford to the London Stadium on Tuesday.

The Hammers survived an upset in the FA Cup where they saw off Kidderminster Harriers in extra time and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.

West Ham progressed to the next round of the FA Cup on Saturday as they claimed a hard-earned 2-1 win over bottom-tier Kidderminster Harriers.

David Moyes’ men now turn their attention to the Premier League, where they are on a two-game losing streak, losing to Leeds United and Manchester United respectively.

With 37 points from 23 games, the Hammers are currently fifth in the standings, one point above Arsenal just outside the Europa League qualification spot.

Meanwhile, Watford failed to find their feet last time out as they played out an uneventful goalless draw with Burnley.

The Hornets head into Tuesday’s game winless in each of their last 10 games, managing just two draws and losing eight in that time.

This poor run sees Watford sit in the relegation places as they are currently 18th with 15 points from 21 games.
