Comments:

League position: 9th Watford had scored only once in their five previous home games so far in this Premier League season. Their total of three remained the lowest in the division but was now matched by bottom of the table Aston Villa. They have kept four clean sheets in their six home games in the Premier League. In overtaking Heidar Helguson and Hameur Bouazza, Odion Ighalo became the highest scorer in the Hornets' Premier League history. The Premier League's Goal Accreditation Panel ruled on the following: - Watford's first goal against West Ham United on Saturday 31st October 2015 has been confirmed as an Odion Ighalo goal. (Circular 10 - 5th November 2015)

Comments:

League position: 5th Prior to this game, West Ham United had the best away record in the Premier League in 2015-16 (won four and drawn one). The Hammers had now been shown four red cards in this Premier League season; the most in the division.
