West Ham vs Watford
Venue: London Stadium
Kick off: 4PM
Patrice Evra may be in line for his debut as West Ham clash against Watford at London Stadium this afternoon.
Evra, who signed for the Hammers on Wednesday, has not played a competitive game since October 29 but is in the squad.
The Hammers’ 3-1 defeat at Brighton last weekend was their first in seven games – although they are still sat on their worst points tally at this stage since they were relegated in 2010/11.
Watford however come into the match on the back of a 4-1 win over Chelsea on Monday night, although they were their first three points since December 26.
The Hornets moved six points clear of the drop zone with that victory, and have now picked up seven extra points thanks to goals in the final 10 minutes of league games – behind only Manchester City and Burnley.
Their lengthy injury list shows little sign of subsiding this weekend, however, with only Tom Cleverley likely to feature.
Watford’s injury troubles continue with nine eligible players sidelined, including vice-captain Heurelho Gomes and midfielder Tom Cleverley.
The Hornets have the most players missing out of any team in the top flight, and may include a member of their under-23s in their matchday squad, as head coach Javi Gracia is currently working with 17 first-team players.
West Ham possible XI: Adrian, Collins, Ogbonna, Reid, Zabaleta, Kouyate, Noble, Cresswell, Antonio, Mario, Hernandez.
Watford possible XI: Karnezis, Mariappa, Proedl, Holebas, Janmaat, Capoue, Doucoure, Zeegelaar, Richarlison, Deulofeu, Deeney.
