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!

West Ham : Adrian, Jenkinson, Collins, Tomkins, Cresswell, Kouyate, Noble, Zárate, Lanzini, Payet, Sakho. Subs: Randolph, Carroll, E Valencia, Obiang, Ogbonna, Jelavic, Antonio
Chelsea : Begovic, Zouma, Cahill, Terry , Azpilicueta, Matic, Ramires, Willian, Fàbregas, Hazard, Diego, Costa Subs: Baba, Oscar, Falcao, Mikel, Traore, Amelia, Loftus-Cheek

Victor Moses' unavailability to play against his parent club chelsea in this weekend's london derby against west ham, opens the door for Michail Antonio to make his full debut and show Hammers fans why the club shelled out over £7 Million for an as yet unproven winger/striker from second tier team Nottingham Forest.
