Watford take on West Ham United on Saturday in the Premier League and HITC pundits give their predictions on the likely outcome.
Watford 2-1 West Ham United
West Ham have terrible memories of their defeat by Watford earlier in the season when the Hornets ran riot at the London Stadium. The Hammers will be out for revenge but I am tipping Watford to do the double over their opponents, with Mbaye Niang on the scoresheet.

After slow starts, the Hornets and the Hammers have picked up form since the turn of the year. However, West Ham still have a propensity for disregarding their defensive duties, meaning the in-form Troy Deeney and impressive Mbaye Niang could wreak havoc with their pace and power.
Watford 1-2 West Ham United
Back-to-back wins against Arsenal and Burnley have given Watford some breathing space, but there is still a very slight possibility they could be dragged back into the scrap. West Ham are in decent form, especially against the teams around or below them, and I think they’ll emerge from Vicarage Road with all three points.

West Ham have turned a big corner and will be looking to get another three points on the board against Watford. Slaven Bilic has Andy Carroll to call on once more and the target man could be the difference here.

A tough one to predict, with the two London sides among the most unpredictable in the top flight. Considering both have registered impressive wins, as well as deflating defeats recently, I am going to sit on the fence and go for a score draw.

Watford have had a couple of decent results of late and will be no pushovers here, although West Ham have a touch more quality for me, and I am expecting them to emerge with all three points.
