Watford and West Ham United will face each other in the Premier League this weekend.

Marco Silva, Manager of Watford gives his team instructions during the Premier League match between Everton and Watford at Goodison Park on November 5, 2017 in Liverpool, England.

Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker Michael Owen has predicted on Betvictor.com that West Ham United will lose against Watford this weekend.

West Ham will take on Watford away from home at Vicarage Road in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

It will be David Moyes’s first game in charge of the Hammers, having recently been appointed the club’s manager following the departure of Slaven Bilic.

Former Newcastle United striker Owen believes that Watford will pick up all three points from the encounter against West Ham.

David Moyes, Manager of Sunderland gives his team instructions during the Premier League match between Arsenal and Sunderland at Emirates Stadium on May 16, 2017 in London, England.

“David Moyes takes charge of West Ham for the first time at Vicarage Road, but I think the Hornets will keep all three points despite the fact that the hosts have lost their last three and need to get their season back on track,” Owen wrote on Betvictor.com.

“Watford will still be kicking themselves for letting a two-goal lead slip at Goodison Park last time, but I think they will get back to winning ways in what will be David Moyes’ 500th game as a PL manager.”

Watford are not in great form at the moment, and the Hornets do need to pick up all three points against West Ham.

Playing at home this weekend will give Marco Silva’s side an advantage, and it is hard to see them drop all three points.

The Hammers, though, do have the quality to draw, and one should not be surprised if Moyes does guide the London team to a point.

Watford are ninth in the Premier League table at the moment, while West Ham are currently third from bottom in the standings.
