    Chance for Brighton with a free-kick given against Kiko Femenía for handball just outside the area, it goes behind for a corner...

    Which comes to nothing, and on we go...

    We'll have three additional minutes at the end of this first-half.

    Things just taking a bit of a lull after that crazy exchange of play.

    You do suspect there will be one more chance before half-time, though...

  5. 'The most horrendous tackle'published at 15:41 British Summer Time 26 August 2017

    If Miguel Britos is looking for sympathy, he's certainly not getting it from Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker who is in no doubt that his red card was deserved.

    And at the other end, Nathaniel Chalobah flashes just wide of Mat Ryan's right hand post with a shot from just outside the box.

    How is this still 0-0?

  7. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 36 mins

    Watford 0-0 Brighton

    Brighton hit the post again!

    This time it's Tomer Hemed who sees his effort rebound, having lost his marker.

  8. Postpublished at 30 mins

    It looks as though Watford substitute Craig Cathcart has moved to right-back, with Femenia switching to the left.

    Anthony Knockaert, by the way, seems to have escaped that Britos challenge unscathed. Breathe easy, Brighton fans.

    I have no doubt in my mind that is a red card. I have not seen a tackle like that in 40 years.

    It's a shocker. And he has the audacity to complain!

    That is a leg breaker. An incredibly dangerous challenge.

    Straight red. Absolutely no question.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 28 mins

    Watford 0-0 Brighton

    Marco Silva wastes no time in adjusting his side after that red card for Britos.

    The unfortunate Nordin Amrabat - arguably Watford's most dangerous outlet so far in this game - makes way for Craig Cathcart.

    What was Miguel Britos thinking?

    As Anthony Knockaert runs down the right flank, the Uruguayan flies in recklessly and gives the referee no option.

    Knockaert is back on his feet after treatment.

    Watford 0-0 Brighton

    Nordin Amrabat is winning his battle with Markus Suttner on the right flank so far in this match.

    Good work from the Moroccan sees the ball flash across the face of goal just evading Andre Gray & Richarlison.

    Chance for Watford as Suttner tugs down Amrabat out wide and a free-kick is awarded.

    But Chalobah sees a header blocked from Femenia's delivery.

    Andre Gray with his first touch of the ball in the Brighton area, but it's heavy and behind for a goal-kick.

    No real chances for either side yet.
