Watford v West Ham United

Last updated : 22 August 2006 By Gary Holmes

Watford has no new injury concerns as they prepare for the visit of the Hammers on Tuesday evening.

American defender, Jay DeMerit is expected to be recalled to the starting line-up in place of Adrian Mariappa, while Hameur Bouazza or Tamas Priskin may be selected ahead of James Chambers in an attacking formation.

Clarke Carlisle's continuing knee concern means he is still unavailable for selection.

For West Ham United, manager Alan Pardew has added left back Jonathan Spector to the squad that defeated Charlton Athletic in the season opener at the weekend in their only change.

Dean Aston (Broken ankle) and Matthew Etherington (Knee) are both still sidelined with long term injuries.
