West Ham Preview – Can West Ham win back-to-back?
West Ham gave themselves what could prove to be an invaluable lifeline last time out in the Premier League when they recorded an emphatic 4-0 win away from home against an already relegated Norwich City, and The Hammers will be going in search of another win at home to help ease their relegation worries.
The hosts have picked up some decent and very much-needed positive results in recent times as they’ve lost just one of their last four matches overall, which was a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to Burnley, but recent victories over Champions League contenders, Chelsea, along with the aforementioned win at Norwich have lifted West Ham three points clear of the relegation zone.
Results on home turf at their London Stadium have been a mixed bag throughout this campaign and recent results underline this as West Ham have also recorded a 3-1 win over Southampton but also lost to Wolves previously too.
Watford Preview – Can Watford transfer home form on road?
Watford have also eased their relegation worries in recent matches by recording back-to-back wins against Norwich City and Newcastle United, both by 2-1 margins but both on home turf at Vicarage Road.
Nevertheless, The Hornets also sit three points clear of the bottom three as a result of these welcome wins and will make the relatively short journey across London to take on fellow strugglers, West Ham, in confident mood.
However, results away from home have left a lot to be desired as Watford have lost five of their last six matches on their travels having incurred losses at Aston Villa, Manchester United, Crystal Palace, Burnley and Chelsea amidst an overall poor away record that stands at 2-4-11 11/31, and they’ve also lost three of the previous four meetings against West Ham too.
