West Ham vs Watford score prediction
Roy Hodgson does not need long to turn a team around defensively, so do not expect a repeat of December's battering here.
Saying that, West Ham should still seal victory. Having Antonio back is a huge boost for the Hammers and although Dennis' return will boost the Hornets' too, Moyes' charges will have too much quality.
Prediction: West Ham 1-0 Watford
