Watford v West Ham United live stream, Tuesday 28 December, 3pm GMT
Watford will be looking to pull clear of the bottom three when they host West Ham on Tuesday.
Claudio Ranieri's side have not played since December 10 following three postponements in a row due to Covid-19 issues. Watford have therefore had plenty of time for rest and recuperation, although whether they will be fresh or short of match sharpness on Tuesday remains to be seen.
The Hornets lost four matches on the bounce prior to their unexpected break. They have registered two eye-catching victories since Ranieri's appointment, a 5-2 win at Everton and a 4-1 thrashing of Manchester United, but each of their other six games under the Italian have ended in defeat.
Watford are three points above the bottom three at the time of writing, and they will need to find some semblance of consistency if they are to pull clear of trouble.
West Ham also go into this match in disappointing form, having won just one of their last seven encounters. A 3-2 home defeat by Southampton on Sunday knocked David Moyes' men down to sixth spot, and they are now seven points adrift of the top four.
It seems as though West Ham's European exertions have caught up with them, but they remain in a strong position in the Premier League table. Moyes will be keen to get back on track as quickly as possible.
West Ham will have to make do without the injured defensive trio of Aaron Cresswell, Kurt Zouma and Angelo Ogbonna, while Declan Rice will serve a one-match ban after accumulating five yellow cards.
Watford will be unable to call upon the services of Peter Etebo, Ben Foster, Christian Kabasele, Ismaila Sarr, Nicolas N'Koulou and Kwadwo Baah. Adam Masina and Francisco Sierralta are back in the fold and available for selection after injury.
Kick-off is at 3pm GMT on Tuesday 28 December, and UK viewers can watch live on Amazon Prime Video. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
