  1. West Brom 0-0 Sheff Wed

    West Brom cough up possession 30 yards from their own goal and the ball comes to Josh Windass.

    The Wednesday forward knocks it out of his feet and has a pop but drags it well, well wide.

  2. YELLOW CARD

    Sunderland 1-0 Watford

    Some frustration from Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor as he kicks out at Watford centre-back James Abankwah after the two of them have a tussle.

    Another cheap yellow card for the home side.

  3. West Brom 0-0 Sheff Wed

    The home side get in behind the Wednesday defence but James Beadle smothers Karlan Grant's effort.

    The Owls then look to spring an attack down their right.

    Opening up a bit now.

  4. YELLOW CARDS

    Sunderland 1-0 Watford

    The yellow card is out and it's for Watford striker Mamadou Doumbia, as he cleans out Dennis Cirkin while going for the ball.

    And a minute later it's roles reversed as Cirkin gets his retribution, sliding in on the 18-year-old on the touchline.

    A booking apiece.

  5. West Brom 0-0 Sheff Wed

    West Brom have a great home record this season, with just one defeat from their 14 games prior to today.

    However, they've often found goals hard to come by and five of their 18 strikes at The Hawthorns came in the win over lowly Portsmouth last month.

  6. 'Sunderland won't mind Watford keeping possession'

    What you find with Sunderland is that when Watford have possession in their half, they'll keep their shape and sit deep.

    Sunderland are defending well and keeping their shape.

    Watford are getting the possession and Sunderland don't mind. They need to create something and stretch Sunderland.

  7. West Brom 0-0 Sheff Wed

    That scare has woken Wednesday up a bit and they finally get down the other end.

    The Owls are missing influential skipper Barry Bannan through injury today.

  8. Sunderland 1-0 Watford

    Watford have grown into the game in this last five minutes, they've started to dominate the ball and the territory, with Imran Louza wriggling free to get a shot away.

    Sunderland block the effort. That backline has been impenetrable so far.

    The Hornets will need to be wary, the Black Cats look dangerous on the turnover - as Moussa Sissoko blazes over.

    The home fans enjoyed that one.

  9. West Brom 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Great save by Wednesday keeper James Beadle!

    Torbjorn Heggem's header from a corner looks to be goal-bound but Beadle scrambles across to keep it out.

    Adam Armstrong's follow up hits the outside of the post as it flies past.

  10. Sunderland 1-0 Watford

    A first venture forward since conceding for Watford and Giorgi Chakvetadze darts in for the left but can't quite find the sight at goal, as the home defence snuffs out the danger.

    Almost a heart-in-mouth moment as goalkeeper Egil Selvick is closed down by Wilson Isidor, but the Norwegian turns him well and clears. Impressive confidence from the debutant.

  11. Sunderland 1-0 Watford

    This time Enzo Le Fee is the one to take it and he has a go from distance.

    It has the power and the swerve but it's straight at Egil Selvick.

    Sunderland having all the ball at the moment.

  12. As it stands...

    Sunderland 1-0 Watford

    Sunderland need a victory to keep pace with their promotion rivals and as it stands they're moving up to third...

  13. West Brom 0-0 Sheff Wed

    West Brom's Karlan Grant hooks over from six yards out after the corner in is knocked down into his path.

    The forward just couldn't wrap his foot around it.

    Half a chance maybe.

  14. Sunderland 1-0 Watford

    The Stadium of Light is bouncing now and the home side are responding.

    Chris Rigg wins another free-kick, this time further out but after that defending for the goal the Black Cats will be on the prowl here.

  15. 'Hornets plan out of the window'

    Sunderland 1-0 Watford

    Gary Bennett
    Ex-Sunderland defender on BBC Radio Newcastle

    Watford's plan has gone out of the window.

  16. West Brom 0-0 Sheff Wed

    The away side just can not get up the pitch at the moment.

    West Brom have had over 75% of the possession so far as they win another corner down their right.

    GOAL: Sunderland 1-0 Watford

    Luke O'Nien (16 mins)

    Sunderland score first goalRex Features

    It's a horror show from Watford.

    Sunderland's free-kick deflects behind for the corner and the ball in goes over the top of everyone before Trai Hume volleys back across the six-yard line.

    The Hornets are in quick sand and Luke O'Nien runs in unchallenged at the far post to nod in against his old side from virtually on the line.

    Tom Cleverley will be furious.

  18. 'Sunderland need players to break'

    Sunderland 0-0 Watford

    Gary Bennett
    Ex-Sunderland defender on BBC Radio Newcastle

    Sunderland need players to break with Wilson Isidor because Watford have got two players back.

  19. Sunderland 0-0 Watford

    Giorgi Chakvetadze stutters his run and Imran Louza hits it into the wall.

    Disappointing from the Hornets and then Wilson Isidor's away.

    The striker stands strong and gets swarmed by the Hornets defenders, winning a free-kick in a very similar area to the one Watford just had.

    Sunderland's turn and Enzo Le Fee likes it.

  20. Sunderland 0-0 Watford

    Watford win a free-kick in a good position after Chris Rigg mistimes his challenge on Giorgi Chakvetadze.
