West Ham could welcome back Diafra Sakho for their clash with Watford as they try to reignite their top-four aspirations. Since an enthralling comeback victory at Everton at the beginning for March, the Hammers have drawn four games in a row - seeing their Champions League dream dwindle.Victory at Leicester on Super Sunday would have done their cause a world of gd, but a controversial late penalty denied Slaven Bilics men a much-needed three points. West Ham were pegged back by Leonardo Ulloa late equaliser Defeat against Watford will all but end the Hammers season - but could the Hornets be distracted by their upcoming FA Cup semi-final?A fortunate victory at West Brom last time out completely secured Watfords Premier League status for next season, after a run of six without a win.Team newsWatford manager Quique Sanchez Flores is planning to make a number of changes to his side. The Hornets boss wants to keep his players as fresh as possible ahead of their FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace on Sunday but intends to play the same shape as usual. Diafra Sakho missed West Hams 3-3 draw with Arsenal through injury Goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes is the only player confirmed to be in the starting XI for the game but Flores has a full squad to chose from with no injuries.Sakho has recovered from the knee injury which forced him to miss Premier League draws with Arsenal and Leicester, as well as the midweek FA Cup defeat by Manchester United.Boss Bilic therefore has a full-strength squad and could hand recalls to Sam Byram, Manuel Lanzini and Andy Carroll, who climbed off the bench to score a penalty at Leicester on Sunday. Watford Head Coach Quique Sanchez Flores will make big changes to his starting line-up against West Ham, as they focus on their FA Cup semi final Opta statsWest Ham United have won just one of their last seven matches against Watford in all competitions (W1 D2 L4).The Hornets have scored one goal in each of their last three visits to the Boleyn Ground, winning two and losing none of those visits. WATCH: Pro training for Hammers fans In episode two of the Academy of Ftball series, the amateur team are given pro training by staff Watford have scored just seven goals in their last 13 Premier League games and have averaged just three shots on target per game in this period (39 shots on target overall).The Hornets have already won twice as many league away games this season (6) as in their two previous Premier League campaigns combined (3 in 1999-00 & 2006-07 combined). West Ham manager Slaven Bilic thinks Premier League referees need more help during games There have been 23 goals scored in the last five Premier League games involving Slaven Bilics side, with West Ham both scoring and conceding at least twice in each game.West Ham are unbeaten in eight successive games in the Premier League (W3 D5 L0), but the last four of these have been draws. They havent gone nine unbeaten in the top-flight since a run of 18 games between August-December 1985.West Ham havent suffered a home league defeat since August 22nd 2015 and are currently on a 14-game unbeaten league run at the Boleyn Ground (W7 D7 L0).

Heurelho Gomes may have to settle for a place on the bench at Wembley on Sunday when Watford face Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-final Dimtri Payet needs one more goal to become just the second West Ham midfielder to score 10+ goals in a Premier League season, after Kevin Nolan in 2012/13.Andy Carroll has scored eight Premier League goals this season; his best return since 2010/11 (13). Indeed, Carroll has netted five goals in his last four league games.Just seven different players have scored a goal for Watford in the Premier League this season (excl. own goals) - the lowest spread of any team in the competition.Charlie predictsI still think theres a bit of life in West Ham, even though the top four has gone for them, and they still have a lot more incentive to win here than their visitors.I know theyve been getting the bad luck with the referees calls but they always seem to get into a position where they can take advantage of others slip-ups and they stumble. Its as if theres a mental block and that has hurt them.Watford have more than done enough in the league and with an FA Cup semi-final coming up, theyve lost an edge. Odion Ighalos goals have dried up. It will be an emotional final few games at Upton Park and that will keep driving West Ham on.Charlie predictions: 2-0 and Manuel Lanzini to score first - 33/1 with Sky BetBettingWest Ham are odds-on at 8/13 with Sky Bet to beat Watford and bst their hopes of securing a place in the top six. The Hammers are 11/10 shots to achieve that feat with Watford 15/2 outsiders to land a top-half finish. The Hornets won the corresponding fixture 2-0 and are 9/2 to complete the double, with the draw trading at 29/10. Andy Carroll bagged a hat-trick in the last match at Upton Park and is 4/1 to break the deadlock and 6/5 to net anytime, while Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney are both 9/4 shots to score anytime.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Adrian Beltre wasnt surprised to see Colorado intentionally walk new teammate Carlos Beltran in front of him to load the bases late in a one-run game.What happened next was all t familiar for the Rockies.Beltre singled in two runs in the eighth inning, and the Texas Rangers rallied late for the third straight game against Colorado in a 5-4 victory Wednesday night.You pick your poison in that situation, Texas manager Jeff Banister said of Walt Weiss move with first base open. Its a comfortable feeling to have one of those guys coming to the plate for you in those situations. So yeah, it will never get old talking about that.The first two comebacks were in Denver, where the Rangers had a three-run ninth for a 4-3 victory and erased a three-run deficit in the eighth inning of a 7-5 win. Texas extended its winning streak to five.In the first of two games in Texas, Colorado rkie David Dahl had a tying two-run triple in the eighth to extend his career-opening hitting streak to 16 games, matching Juan Pierres franchise record from 2000. He scored the go-ahead run on Ryan Raburns sacrifice fly.But Beltres bases-loaded single with two outs sent the Rockies to their sixth loss in seven games.It also gave the Rangers a happy ending on a day that started somberly with slugger Prince Fielders emotional announcement that he was following a medical recommendation to quit playing because of a second cervical fusion surgery on his neck.Colorado lost three of the last four on its just-completed homestand when leading after seven innings. And now this after their stirring comeback in the eighth.Well work our way through it, Weiss said. I feel like we have enough talent there to get it right. We just have to get on a roll.Jake Diekman (3-1) allowed Dahls tying hit before 30-year-old rkie Matt Bush pitched a perfect ninth for his first big league save.Jonathan Lucroy homered in his first home game since the deadline trade that brought him to Texas, giving the Rangers a 3-1 lead in the fifth.Lucroys solo shot was his fourth in six games with the Rangers and 17th this season, one shy of his career high with Milwaukee in 2013. The Brewers sent him and reliever Jeremy Jeffress to the Rangers fr prospects on Aug.dddddddddddd 1.It was also the first game in Arlington for Beltran since the deadline deal with the Yankees. He singled his first time up, but didnt get a chance in the eighth.Instead, Beltres hard grounder skipped past shortstop Cristhian Adames into left center off Adam Ottavino, the third Colorado reliever of the inning.Anytime youve got two future Hall of Famer-type guys, its a deadly combination, Lucroy said. In Milwaukee, we had (Ryan) Braun and then we had Prince right behind him in his heyday years. Theres no bullpen, theres no starter that wants to deal with that.Both Texas runs in the eighth were unearned after Mitch Moreland reached on first baseman Mark Reynolds one-out error with Bne Logan (1-2) pitching.DOUBLE THE FUNTexas starter Martin Perez got two ground-ball double plays to give the left-hander a majors-leading 31 for the season. He tied C.J. Wilsons Texas record from 2011. One of them was unassisted at first base by Jurickson Profar, who fielded a sharp grounder from Nolan Arenado and tagged D.J. LeMahieu running near him before stepping on the bag.SHORT HOPSColorado leadoff hitter Charlie Blackmon had three singles, including one on a 13-pitch at-bat against Perez in the third. ...
