Centre-back Jay DeMerit is in line for a recall to the starting line-up having recovered from the ankle problem that had allowed teenager Adrian Mariappa to start at Goodison Park. Jonathan Spector has been included in the West Ham United squad for the Barclays Premiership clash at Watford. Spector is now fully recovered from the shoulder injury that ruled him out of the United States' World Cup campaign and is added to the squad that beat Charlton Athletic on Saturday.
Winger Matthew Etherington (knee) and goalkeeper Robert Green (groin) are still out injured while George McCartney (ankle) is a longer term problem. Watford manager Adrian Boothroyd has reported no fresh injury worries ahead of the visit of West Ham to Vicarage Road. The Hornets boss is set to stick with the same squad that performed well but lost narrowly at Everton on Saturday.
