Newly-promoted club Watford (3-3-4, 13 points) will host top contender West Ham United (6-2-2, 20 points) at the Vicarage Road on Saturday, October 31 for a 2015-2016 Premier League week 11 meeting.
Watford is coming off an impressive 2-0 victory over Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium last week as team captain and striker Troy Deeney finally scored a goal after 857 minutes of drought, as reported by SkySports.
The 27-year-old Englishman scored the match's first goal at the 43rd minute with a majestic individual play at the edge of the box while teammate Almen Abdi sealed the game with another one at the 69th to secure the Hornets' first win in four games.
Meanwhile, West Ham floored defending champions Chelsea, 2-1, at the Upton Park to move past Manchester United at the third spot in the league table, as per The Guardian.
Argentine striker Mauro Zárate drew first blood at the 17th before the Blues' midfielder Nemanja Matić was sent off right before halftime with a second yellow card. Manager Jose Mourinho was also sent off a minute later, which added to Chelsea's woes.
Pensioners' defender Gary Cahill equalized the count at the 56th despite the one-man disadvantage, but Irons substitute striker Andy Carroll headed the winner from a super cross by defender Aaron Cresswell to put the game away for Slaven Bilić's squad.
It was the Hammers' second consecutive win as they are unbeaten in their last six outings and it looks like they will continue the streak versus the runners-up of last season's The Championship.
The predicted result is a 3-1 triumph for West Ham United.
Watford starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Gomes; Aké, Britos, Nyom, Cathcart; Watson, Abdi; Capoue, Anya, Deeney; Ighalo
