West Ham United will be looking to win their fifth consecutive Premier League game on Saturday afternoon but must pit their wits against a tricky Watford outfit.Wins against Newcastle, Cardiff, Crystal Palace and Fulham have no doubt give the Hammers confidence but the Hornets are set to be a truer test after ending their poor form with a triumph against Cardiff.
3What the managers are saying
Manuel Pellegrini (West Ham):“I know that we need to replace players that probably will not play much more this season like (Andriy) Yarmolenko, (Carlos) Sanchez, (Manuel) Lanzini, so we are calm, we will decide not now what we are going to do but we will decide.”Javi Gracia (Watford):“They have won four games in a row and they are playing well, but I think we are ready to compete against them, just like we are ready to compete against all the teams.“We know they are full of confidence and they are in a good moment, but we don’t feel different. We usually keep the same attitude in all our games and play as we know we can.“It’s no different to us playing against Everton in the last away game. We are ready to compete.”
