West Ham’s Payet ready to start against Watford

West Ham have promised to hand out life bans to any supporters found to have been involved in crowd trouble during Saturday’s 4-2 Premier League defeat by Watford.

Meanwhile, Watford is still winless with one draw and two losses so far in the season.

“France missed him, they were better when he came on”.

Videos of the clashes between Watford and West Ham United began to be circulated on Twitter following the game. It may be a unrealistic dream for West Ham to consider a title challenge just yet but one advantage Bilic’s boys has over Antonio Conte’s Blues’ is the brand new stadium they have recently adopted. Nine of them were goals of his own and 12 were assists for teammates.

West Ham, who lost 3-1 to Manchester City before the global break, are now 12th in the Premier League with three points from as many fixtures.

And it got even worse for West Ham after 63 minutes.

An unspecified number of fans were ejected from the London Stadium after fights broke out in the closing stages of the game after the hosts had thrown away a two-goal lead. They played against Southampton on the first match day and drew the game by 1-1.

Every home fixture seemed to necessitate the announcement of ‘the last…’ – “The last time Arsenal will play here”; “The last FA Cup fixture”; and – in the frenetic and at times ugly 3-2 win over Manchester United – “The last game at The Boleyn Ground”.

Once more the home defence was exposed as Holebas drilled a pass by Ighalo into the back of the net, but they also cried foul after seeing Payet brought down in the build-up.

But Odion Ighalo grabbed a goal back flour minutes before the break before Troy Deeney capitalised on a defensive mix-up between Adrian and James Collins to level things up in first half stoppage time. Subs: Tore 5, Fletcher 4, Calleri 4.

Watford confirmed line-ups: Gomes (GK); Cathcart, Kaboul, Britos; Janmaat, Capoue, Pereyra, Behrami, Holebas; Deeney (c), Ighalo. Their performances so far suggest they’re going to have to pick up points when facing teams around them again; a year ago they accumulated 33 of their 45 points against bottom-half finishers.
