West Ham United have been well backed as favourites to defeat Watford at Upton Park this evening. 

The Hornets will make significant changes to their side for tonight's game and this perhaps explains why the Hammers have been so popular and are as short as 4/7 with Betfred for victory.

But there is no value in backing Slaven Bilic's side especially considering the Irons are without a win in their last six matches.

Five of these have resulted in draws and it this result which could be worth a bet at a generous 16/5 (Coral).

The Hornets are widely available at 11/2 (William Hill) but it is hard to get stuck into this with so much uncertainty surrounding their team selection.

Watford defeated the Hammers 2-0 back in October and are unbeaten on their last three visits to the Boleyn Ground having won two of those matches. 

Andy Carroll has scored five goals in his last five appearances and the West Ham striker is worth consideration to find the net again at 11/8 (Betfred).
