The Premier League weekend kicks-off on Friday night with two games.
Cardiff, fourth from bottom, are looking for a third successive win as they host Watford – who will move into seventh with victory in the Welsh capital.
West Ham host second from bottom Fulham in what is already a must win game for Claudio Ranieri’s men. The Cottagers are eight points adrift of safety, whilst The Hammers would climb into ninth with victory.
