Week 20 features a match on Tuesday Dec 28th, where Watford will play host to West Ham United in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 6 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Watford is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Brentford. Emmanuel Dennis struck first for Watford in the 24th minute, then Pontus Jansson tied it up for Brentford in the 84th minute on a feed from Marcus Forss But luckily in the 95th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a penalty goal by Bryan Mbeumo. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 8 of their last 10, while 5th placed West Ham United is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Arsenal. Martinelli scored the first goal for Arsenal in the 48th minute, then Emile Smith Rowe added another in the 87th minute on a feed from Bukayo Saka In the end, West Ham United was frustrated by Arsenal’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Arsenal ended the match with the shutout victory. West Ham United should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season.
