David Moyes kicks off his reign as West Ham manager on Sunday when his side travel to London rivals Watford.

The former Everton boss has been tasked with steering the Hammers out of the relegation zone, with the side currently sat on nine points in 18th.

It’s a big game for?

David Moyes. After failing at Manchester United, Real Sociedad and Sunderland, Moyes has, rather amazingly, been handed a lifeline to get his career back on track and restore a shred of credibility to his reputation. If he’s to turn around West Ham’s fortunes, as well as his own, an impressive win today is essential.

5' - Marvin Zeegelaar returns to the pitch with two blood-soaked cotton plugs in his nose - one in each nostril. Not a great look, in all honesty.

9' - Very little of note to report on as we approach the 10-minute mark at Vicarage Road. It's been a very scrappy game so far.

GOAL! Watford 1-0 West Ham (Hughes)

11' - West Ham can't clear their lines from Marvin Zeegelaar's cross from the left wing and Will Hughes is in the right place at the right time to turn the ball home after Andre Gray's scuffed shot.

That's the former Derby man's first goal in the Premier League.

13' - Andy Carroll gets up well to meet Pablo Zabaleta's cross but the England striker's header is straight at Heurelho Gomes in the Watford goal.

17' - West Ham really haven't reacted well to going a goal down. They're struggling to keep possession and Watford look by far the more likely team to score the game's next goal.

22' - Watford want a penalty after a coming-together in the box between Pablo Zabaleta and Richarlison. Andre Marriner is having none of it but TV replays show the hosts might've had a good case there.

David Moyes can't be impressed with what he's seeing in his first match in charge of the visiting side.

[19 November 2017 16:30 · Liam Corless]

29' - Andy Carroll, let off earlier in the match for what looked like an elbow on Marvin Zeegelaar, is the first player to be show a yellow card after an off-the-ball collision with Richarlison.

Not the most sensible act from a man just returning from suspension.

Watford's Miguel Britos joins Carroll in the referee's book just moments later for a late challenge on Cheikhou Kouyate.

[19 November 2017 16:33 · Liam Corless]

33' - Close! Richarlison plays a neat one-two with Andre Gray on the edge of the area before attempting to shape a shot into the far corner. Joe Hart can only parry the ball out to Kiko Femenia, who scuffs the follow-up wide under very little pressure.
