Watford go up the other end and again it's Giorgi Chakvetadze on the left-hand side, who finds Moussa Sissoko at the near post and the captain lays it off for Imran Louza, who's curled effort goes just wide.

George Honeyman's initial corner comes to nothing but he wins another and Jake Cooper - always the target - meets it with his head on the penalty spot but it's saved by Egil Selvik.

But Millwall jump straight on to the short ball out and Honeyman hesitates before squaring to Josh Coburn, but the defence have enough time to snuff out the danger.

Could and probably should be 1-0 to the visitors.

Nope, Ben Pearson can't continue for Stoke.

Jordan Thompson, who started last week's goalless draw with Watford, replaces him.

Watford are just starting to click in the final third.

There's some nice play in the midfield with Imran Louza before it is played out to Giorgi Chakvetadze on the left side.

The Georgian twists and turns on the spot before hanging up a high cross to the back stick but it's just too far for his team-mates and goes behind for a goal kick.

Watford have had 71% possession so far but Casper De Norre wins his side a corner and here comes Jake Cooper from the back.

Ben Pearson needs some treatment for Stoke.

The visiting bench are getting a substitute ready but Pearson wants to come back on.

He's had his fair share of injury issues so you can understand him not wanting to come off.

Stoke have far too much space when they are in possession and the Sky Blues are sitting off them.

Jay Dasilva has got to get tighter to Lewis Koumas, that is so evident.

A first chance for Coventry as Matt Grimes finds Milan Van Ewijk with a long diagonal pass.

The Dutchman cuts inside on his left foot but his shot is straight at Viktor Johansson.

The Stoke goalkeeper has made more saves than any other keeper in the Championship this season - that was one of the easier ones.

A nice move from Watford almost results in the opening goal.

Edo Kayembe and Yasser Larouci combine to break up the field at pace and the latter gets the ball to Giorgi Chakvetadze, who cuts in and shoots low at goal.

But Lukas Jensen gets down to make a comfortable save.

First time either keeper has been called into action so far.

First sight of goal for Millwall after a decent spell of possession for the visitors.

Tristan Crama's cross from the right is half-cleared to Billy Mitchell, who takes one touch a lashes the half-volley wide of Egil Selvik's goal.

Better from Millwall as we approach the 15-minute mark.

Stoke are finding so much space behind Coventry when they come forward.

Ali Al-Hamadi gets to the byline and squares it across the six-yard box but no-one in a black shirt has got on the end of it.

Too easy for the Potters from a Coventry perspective.

Giorgi Chakvetadze's whipped inswinger needed to be punched away by Lukas Jensen in the Millwall goal.

Watford keep it alive and the ball comes back into Matty Pollock. It pops up nicely for the centre-back and he thinks about going for the overhead but decides against it, before Edo Kayembe drives wide.

A strong start by Tom Cleverley's side.

Coventry need to wake up.

Stoke are fighting relegation and seem fired up for this and if we're not careful we're going to go behind.

Andrew Moran sets away Ali Al-Hamadi for the visitors who cuts inside and his shot is blocked although there are appeals Bobby Thomas handled the ball.

Referee David Webb isn't interested.

The warning signs are there for Coventry who just haven't started yet.

Watford are having all of the early ball possession and they get forward for the first time as Moussa Sissoko goes up for a header from Imran Louza's cross in.

But the linesman's flag goes up against Louza in the build-up and had Sissoko nodded that in, the Hornets would not have been happy because he looked to be comfortably onside.

Yasser Larouci then wins a corner for the hosts on the left.

Too easy there but what a save from Oliver Dovin.

Stoke have started the brighter, they are trying to get in behind Coventry's backline and they nearly have on a couple of occasions already.

Lewis Koumas is slipped in by Ben Pearson and Oliver Dovin is forced to make the save for a corner which goes out of play.

Stoke have started brightly.

I think as the game goes, it'll be Matt Grimes sitting and Josh Eccles making inroads for Coventry.

What a reception there was for Mark Robins.

He even got a hug from a Coventry steward.

We've got bright sunshine at the CBS Arena - one of those days when you sense we are into the business end of the season.

Japhet Tanganga takes a long throw for the visitors which is knocked down to George Honeyman.

The midfielder tussles with Watford left-back Yasser Larouci before the whistle goes for a free-kick.

Could be an interesting tussle there.

Watford enjoying plenty of the early possession.
