West Ham avoided an embarrassing FA Cup exit by the skin of their proverbial teeth this weekend. The Hammers needed a last-gasp equaliser, followed by a late extra-time winner, to avoid what would’ve been the biggest upset in the history of the storied competition against National League North side Kidderminster (in terms of the gap between the two teams in the English pyramid).
In the Premier League, David Moyes’ men have defied expectations to remain in the race for a top four finish and currently occupy fifth place. However, having lost their last two league fixtures to Leeds United and fellow Champions League hopefuls Manchester United, they will see this game as a must-win to get that top four chase back on track.
Watford are onto their third manager of the season, with relegation still looking like a distinct possibility this term. With Xisco and Claudio Ranieri doing little to impress the club’s hierarchy so far this term, they have now turned to the vastly experienced Roy Hodgson to try and escape the bottom three and he’ll take charge of the team for only the second time here.
In his first match in charge this Saturday evening, the former England manager led his side to a goalless draw with Burnley. That result means they’ve now gone 10 matches without a victory in all competitions, so a return to form is required as quickly as possible to keep their hopes of falling back into the Championship at the first time of asking.
