West Ham have recorded a four-match winning run in the Premier League for the first time since February 2014 and have a great chance of making it five in a row with victory over Watford.

The Hammers have had bad luck with injuries this season but that has not stopped them scoring goals. Manuel Pellegrini’s men have notched 11 times in seeing off Newcastle, Cardiff, Crystal Palace and Fulham and now have a leaky Watford team in their sights.

The Hornets have conceded at least two goals in each of their last five games, including twice when seeing off Cardiff at Vicarage Road last time out, and tend to show their best form at home, where they have picked up 15 of their 24 points.
