Team news, stats and prediction ahead of West Ham vs Watford in the Premier League on Friday (kick-off 8pm).
West Ham have no fresh injury concerns ahead of Friday's clash with fellow relegation battlers Watford at the London Stadium. Midfielder Robert Snodgrass, yet to feature since the season restart because of a back problem, has been training but it looks unlikely he will be involved.
Boss David Moyes said on Thursday that forward Felipe Anderson was "getting a bit closer" to a comeback after missing three games with a hamstring issue.
Watford manager Nigel Pearson expects to pick from the same squad as he did for Saturday's come-from-behind 2-1 win over Newcastle.
Troy Deeney continues to manage a knee situation but Pearson said it was not a significant concern. Daryl Janmaat, Gerard Deulofeu (both knee) and Isaac Success (Achilles) remain sidelined through injury.

Michail Antonio's four goals at Norwich were different class. He plays the No 9 role really well. He did miss chances the week before but you could see a guy who has strength and a great appetite for the game. He chases and fights for everything.
Troy Deeney converted two penalties to get Watford over the line, but they have not been playing well. Nigel Pearson will not be fussed about performances now, it's all about results and he will just wants to see his side reach safety.
Watford would take a point and move on, but how do you genuinely pick a winner here? With the tension, and both teams after one more win or even a point to be safe, it is too difficult to call. But I just think West Ham have more about them at the moment and will win this.
CHARLIE PREDICTS: 2-1 (9/1 with Sky Bet)
