Team news:
Lucas Neill could return to face Watford again tomorrow after recovering from the ankle injury he picked up during our previous meeting with the Hornets two weeks ago.
Anton Ferdinand could also return to action following three weeks on the sidelines with an injured hamstring.
Carlos Tevez is training again after his calf injury, but Matthew Upson won't be fit in time to face Watford. Carlton Cole is available for selection after a slight calf problem ruled him out of our trip to Aston Villa.
The opposition:
Watford may have lost talented forward Ashley Young to Aston Villa, but they have added a number of signings to their squad during the January transfer window. Defenders Gareth Williams (Leicester) and Cedric Avinel (Creteil), midfielders Johan Cavalli (Istres), Douglas Rinaldi (Veranopolis) and strikers Steve Kabba (Sheffield United), Will Hoskins (Rotherham) and Moses Ashikodi (Rangers) all arrived at Vicarage Road last month.
The Hornets have both lost and failed to score in ten of their last fourteen Premiership matches and are yet to win away from home in the league. Hamuer Bouazza is the club's current top scorer with three goals.
Previous meetings:
Watford knocked the Hammers out of the FA Cup at Upton Park a fortnight ago, thanks to a goal from Anthony McNamee. In this season's reverse fixture the two sides played out a 1-1 draw at Vicarage Road in August. Marlon King put the Hornets ahead but Bobby Zamora equalised two minutes later.
The Hammers have won all of the last ten league encounters between the two sides at Upton Park and haven't lost to Watford at home in the league since February 1984.
