United States Watford vs West Ham LIVE! Premier League match stream, latest team news, lineups, TV, prediction today
West Ham are looking to finish what has been a magnificent year on a high note as they travel to Watford in the Premier League this afternoon.
The Hammers are in the midst of a slump, having won just one of their last eight matches in all competitions, but 2021 has been an unqualified success for David Moyes’ team, bringing a sixth-placed finish in the top-flight and qualification for Europe.
Moyes’ men have the knockout stages of the Europa League to look forward to in the New Year, but their more immediate concern will be getting back to winning way in the Premier League after a poor run of form that has seen them slip to sixth in the table, having been in the top four earlier in the campaign.
Watford had themselves been on a torrid run of four successive defeats but a raft of Covid postponements mean they have not played since December 10 and Claudio Ranieri must hope that they can use the break as a chance to reset, even if the disruption to training has been far from ideal.

WEST HAM GET A DESERVED EQUALISER!
Sustained pressure from the visitors, and it ends with a lovely goal. Coufal and Bowen combine, and the winger then looks up and plays the ball into the path of Soucek.
The midfielder makes a great run and it fires it into the net at the near post. Great move, great finish.
25 mins: Watford enjoying their best spell since taking the lead. Dennis has space on the right but his cross is too deep, and it’s beyond King.
22 mins: Coufal gets forward again, and it’s yet another corner for West Ham. Bowen to take again, Sissoko to head it away again.
Watford look to break and Hernandez should do better, but his pass to Dennis has no pace on it and it’s intercepted.
With Rice suspended Soucek is playing further forward here today and looks far better for it. The Czech hasn’t looked the same player as last season so far this campaign but has been dangerous so far today.
19 mins: Good feet from Lanzini and he plays it into Antonio. The striker holds it up and wins the free-kick... Watford defence getting really tight to him every time he gets the ball.
Benrahma earns a corner for his side, West Ham’s third of the match.
17 mins: The visitors have had all the possession since the goal.
Coufal tries to slide Bowen in behind, but Dennis has tracked back really well and he gets his body in the way, seeing it out for a goal-kick.
West Ham have responded well to that poor start, creating a few openings at the other end of the pitch, Benrahma’s shot against the bar the closest they have come.
The Algerian scored against Southampton on Boxing Day but could do with impressing here after a string of poor performances.
14 mins: West Ham are piling on the pressure. Coufal with a deep ball into the box, which falls to Benrahma. Chests it down, Bowen’s shot is blocked.
Drops to Antonio, and the Watford defence come flying across to block his effort too.
11 mins: Antonio wins a free-kick on the right wing, good position this for West Ham. Bowen whips it in, but Sissoko is there in the six-yard box to head it behind for a corner. Well defended.
Sissoko is there again to head away the corner.
10 mins: Benrahma hammers a shot against the bar!
What a strike. Lovely first touch takes him inside, and he catches the shot so sweetly. Rockets towards the far corner but it smashes off the bar.
