Sunday’s solitary fixture gets underway at 4pm as Watford welcome West Ham United to Vicarage Road.
The Hornets’ Richarlison is still searching for his first home goal since signing in the summer, with all four of his strikes arriving on the road.
Nonetheless, the young Brazilian – who is the most popular Fantasy Premier League asset from today’s encounter, with 18% ownership – has still supplied points against both Liverpool and Arsenal in front of his own fans.
Those holding Richarlison will be keeping a keen eye on his performance today – after next week’s trip to Newcastle has passed, Watford are braced for a run of three testing fixtures (MUN TOT bur).
West Ham roll up on the back of the worst defensive record in the opening 11 Gameweeks, having conceded 23 times.
They’ll be desperate for shoots of improvement under David Moyes, though they need to make do without injured top scorer Chicharito. The new Hammers boss hands Andy Carroll a first start since Gameweek 7 in light of his fellow forward’s absence.
It’s a sign of the visitors’ malaise that the Mexican is their only outfield player with more than 2% ownership in FPL.
And with clashes against Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal just around the corner in Gameweek 17-19, that lack of interest is unlikely to change anytime soon.
