Roy Hodgson's coming out of retirement for a job that involves a relegation dogfight has raised a few eyebrows and taking on West Ham United this week will be a challenge too.
The Irons are the favourites at 2/5 with Grosvenor Sport while Watford is 13/2 and draw 4/1.
David Moyes will be looking for his side to be more clinical going ahead to this match after only seeing his side find the target on four occasions from 20 attempts against National League North side Kidderminster Harriers in the FA Cup.
Going all the way to extra-time would have been far from ideal, especially with Europa League knockout rounds approaching and pushing for a top four finish.
For the Hornets, they may have seen signs of improvement under Hodgson away at Burnley at the weekend but they still have a long way to go if they can win this relegation battle.
