All sorts going on in the Middlesbrough penalty area now.

Etienne Capoue's strike at goal is deflected and falls nicely for Isaac Success. The Nigerian, on the byeline, looks up for a team-mate, but slips over as he tries crossing the ball.

A failure for Success there.

Here we are, a double change for Middlesbrough.

Cristhian Stuani has come off and Adama Traore comes on.

Daniel Ayala replaces Antonio Barragan.

Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka has not made any changes yet. When does he decide to take Alvaro Negredo off and bring on Jordan Rhodes?

Meanwhile, his side do earn a fortunate corner, but Gaston Ramirez's cross evades all his players.

George Friend then puts a ball deep into the box from the other end, but Negredo gets his header all wrong and Heurelho Gomes comes out to gather.

I think that's a harsh one. Nordin Amrabat has been nutmegged and he just cant get round. 

A nutmeg and a yellow card in the process - doesn't get much worse...

Gaston Ramirez has spent more of this match flailing around on the deck than on his feet. Again, referee Roger East gives nothing.

But Watford's Nordin Amrabat is given a booking though, after tripping George Friend, who had nutmegged him. 

Watford earn a free-kick at the other end, but Etienne Capoue's measured ball into the box is headed away.

Another Hornets goal will kill this game.

Roger East would be guessing if he gave that as a penalty.

Middlesbrough look a little leaden-footed at the moment. Watford are just keeping the ball amongst themselves, stroking it between the white shirts. Nothing of any great difficulty for them. 

Another shout for a penalty from the home fans as Gaston Ramirez tumbles in the box. Miguel Britos had an arm around him but the Uruguayan goes down too easily. He smiles as referee Roger East waves the appeals away.

Middlesbrough striker Alvaro Negredo, who can barely play a straight two-yard pass, attempts a backheel to a team-mate.

Guess what? He fails to get it right and gives possession away.

The Beast is more like a mouse at the moment.

Middlesbrough have a free-kick on the right and Gaston Ramirez is standing over it.

He swings it in left-footed but continues their theme of producing very little quality.

It fails to get past the man at the front post, Isaac Success, who heads the ball away.

I think both sides might be thinking about their striking options. Middlesbrough striker Alvaro Negredo hasn't been good at all. Jordan Rhodes is the next option off the bench.

Middlesbrough have to wake up now and find some quality in the final third. They have been poor so far in this match.

Watford are on their way to their first Premier League away win on a Sunday.

What a strike that is! We have seen Jose Holebas take throw ins, corner kicks but we have not seen him take shots like that!

Deary me, this is dreadful.

Middlesbrough play some nice football in the build-up with some neat passing.

Cristhian Stuani then lays Adam Forshaw up banging in the middle of the goal, on the edge of the area.

Forshaw looks for a curler but his attempt is horrible, ending up rolling the ball into the hands of Heurelho Gomes.

In the next move, Stuani then finds space on the right-edge of the box, but lashes his shot wide of goal.

I think Watford are happy to come here and get the point, but should they be going for three?

Middlesbrough 0-0 Watford

Watford's Isaac Success has been caught in the midriff with a high boot.

It was accidental though. Gaston Ramirez had his eye on the ball which was hanging in the air, and smacks Success as it falls down to Earth.

Ramirez already on a yellow remember.

Success is a tough lad and is OK to continue.

Now. George Friend wins the ball off Etienne Capoue and the ball breaks for striker Alvaro Negredo in the box, but he fails to control it and goes down, with embarrassment I guess.

Middlesbrough striker Alvaro Negredo cannot find a team-mate with a two-yard pass.

We have seen some really horrible football in this match.
