Watford face West Ham at Vicarage Road on Saturday, Feb. 25. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Watford’s 2016-17 has looked a lot like their 2015-16, but without the Troy Deeney-Odion Ighalo combination that was so lethal last season. The Hornets started excellently, and were as high as seventh place in December, but have started drifting since then. They’re not in danger of relegation, but their lack of any real tactical identity under Walter Mazzarri is a concern. Watford go through managers at an alarming rate, but it feels like they need a coach who will give the team a really clear playing style, something to sustain fans as they drift along in the mid-table.
West Ham are in a similar situation to Watford in some respects. They’re well clear of relegation in 10th place, and trying to make the most of a season that has been neither here nor there. The Hammers have a little more going on, though, having fought their way out of the relegation battle in the past two months while having to contend with the loss of their best player in Dimitri Payet. They’re also still getting accustomed to their new stadium, which hasn’t proved quite as homely as Upton Park. Slaven Bilic’s have been playing well lately, however, with three wins and a draw in their last five matches.

West Ham are probably favorites given their recent form, but this should be an open contest between two sides with very little to play for.
