Key Battles: West Ham vs. Watford

West Ham welcome Premier League rivals Watford to the London Stadium for the first time ever, with the Hornets yet to record a win this campaign they will be looking to grab the win.

The Hammers have registered only one win this season which was at home against Bournemouth, however, with a good display and a late loss to Chelsea away at Stamford Bridge in their first game of the season and more recent loss to Manchester City before the international break, West Ham will be keen to get more points on the board and keep their unbeaten home league status in their new stadium.

Slaven will be keen to feature Simone Zaza for his first Premier League start and will welcome back Dimitri Payet, Sofiane Feghouli and Håvard Nordtveit all back from injury, with Manuel Lanzini also pushing to get his first start of the season after a late run out in the game against Man City. West Ham fans will sure to be excited with Bilić possibly starting the strongest XI that we have.

We’ve picked out five key battles for tomorrow’s game that will decide the fixture.
