OUR PREDICTION
West Ham 3 – 1 Watford
West Ham is expected to secure all three points with relative ease as they face a Watford side who recently parted ways with their manager. The Hammers might not have been in the best of forms but possess enough firepower to get a result. Watford is expected to struggle a bit with all the manager turmoil and the recent lack of form of Emmanuel Dennis.
