Hammers take on the Hornets at Vicarage Road well aware that this fixture could have a 'sting in the tail'! West Ham fans of a certain age will remember 'high flying hammers' being brought down to earth by clubs placed well below them, particularly in Cup matches, Oldham, Luton and Mansfield spring painfully to mind. So this Barclay's Premier League fixture has banana skin written all over it, Watford worst scoring home record, West Ham best away record, in past times this would definitely end in a Hornets victory with Payet being sent off and Andy Carroll injured! But this is new West Ham, win lose or draw it is a team playing 'the West Ham way' but moved on in time, manager Slaven billic doesn't do mild acceptance of the inevitable, his ethos is why not have a go?
