S.P. Read Esq: Watford v West Ham
Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to Sunday’s Premier League match between WATFORD v WEST HAM and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.
New manager syndrome might struggle in the case of David Moyes and West Ham this afternoon when they take on Watford at Vicarage Road (4pm) in the only Premier League game of not so super Sunday.
Apologies to Hammers fans but I have long term negativity about the current side who look to have lost some of their magic since moving from Upton Park and will do well to avoid relegation on current form.
Certainly this is a match that they would ordinarily look to take something from – but their only away wins so far this season have come in the EFL Cup.
It’s not uncommon for a struggling side to show a reaction blip of form for a new manager but David Moyes acknowledges the task ahead. He said: “I’m not one to criticise who was here before, but the players have told me what they think so we will give them what they think they need.
“They need to take responsibility. The players have been really committed to what we’ve asked them to do, they’ve grasped it and got on with it, and I think they’ve embraced it too.
“We’ve tried to put an awful lot of work into them over the past five or six days.”
Watford themselves have struggled since beating Arsenal 2-1 with three consecutive defeats against Chelsea, Stoke and Everton.
A win today for Watford will take them into eighth ahead of Brighton who play on Monday.
