    Watford static, Manchester United ecstatic.  The cross wasn't challenged by the Watford defence and Memphis Depay just side-footed it home. Great movement to get into position.

    We're building up to the rest of today's Premier League games and there could be a few changes at the top of the table during the next few hours. 

    Manchester United will go one point clear if they win at Watford in the early kick-off, before Arsenal (away v West Brom) and Leicester City (away v Newcastle) both can to go to the summit in their 15:00 GMT games.

    However, Manchester City, who started the day in pole position, will finish the day at the top if they beat Liverpool (17:30 GMT).

    Watford 0-0 Man Utd

    Chris Coleman
    Wales manager on Football Focus

    Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney are a huge threat for Watford. Deeney is such a good leader and with Ighalo playing off him they’re dangerous. This will be a very interesting one for Manchester United.

  9. KICK-OFFpublished at 12:45

    Watford 0-0 Man Utd

    The end of the French national anthem is greeted by a huge round of applause from a sell-out crowd. There is at least one French flag in the crowd.

    Remember, we have a dedicated full text commentary of this game on the BBC Sport website.

    The French national anthem is being played before the start of all Premier League games this weekend following the Paris attacks.

  11. Who are Rashford and Goss?published at 12:38

    Watford v Man Utd (12:45 GMT)

    For Lawro's sake and, probably quite a few Manchester United fans too, here is what we know of substitutes Marcus Rashford and Sean Goss, who are on the Red Devils bench for the first time.

    The United website describes Rashford, 18, as a striker with a "powerful shot". Rashford has been with United for several years and helped the side retain youth trophy, the Milk Cup, in 2014.

    Goss, 20, was signed from Exeter City for an undisclosed fee in the summer of 2012. The United website says his playing style is similar to that of Michael Carrick's. United fans will be hoping the player enjoys a similar stellar career at Old Trafford.

  12. 'Names we don't recognise'published at 12:34

    Watford v Man Utd (12:45 GMT)

    Mark Lawrenson
    Former Liverpool defender on Football Focus

    Watford are very much a counter-attacking team, and that might actually suit Manchester United. 

    "But there are names on that United bench that we don't even recognise - Sean Goss and Marcus Rushford, it sounds like a duet, that's how short they are. But they are Man Utd, they have to get on with it. When players aren't available you have to make do.

    Extra security measures are in place around Vicarage Road ahead of Watford's game with Manchester United in the wake of the Paris attacks. The Premier League has briefed each club on the current threat alert and existing security guidance. All fans entering Watford's ground are having their bags searched.

    Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said the league would be on "extra high alert" following the attacks.

    Who has proved you wrong?published at 12:27

    #bbcfootball

    Watford striker Troy Deeney says he has "proved people wrong all my life" and invited six former inmates from his time in prison to his side's game against Manchester United today.

    So we want to know which player has proved you wrong, in a good or a bad way.

    Richard: I was very sceptical when Man Utd bought Dwight Yorke... guess no need to say more.

    Olajide Lukman: Jon Obi Mikel is the player who has proved me wrong. I thought he was better than Messi at the Fifa youth championship 2005 in Holland.

    "Watford keep coming up with enough good results to suggest they'll win their battle to stay up.

    "They'll have to end a nine-match losing run against United to get something from this game though, where the first goal will be crucial.

    "Watford have only scored three home goals. Van Gaal's durable side haven't conceded in 555 minutes. If United go ahead, they won't lose."
