    West Brom 2-1 Watford

    Time to catch your breath.

    It's West Brom who lead at the break after a quick-fire double midway through the half.

    Watford with plenty of possession and chances of their own... but can they keep up that intensity through the second period?

    We'll wait to see.

    West Brom 2-1 Watford

    Two added minutes at the end of this half and Watford have a free-kick in a good position...

    Jose Holebas whips the ball in from just outside the West Brom 18-yard box - it's cleared as far as Andre Carrillo, who has time to send the ball back in... but he can only find the palms of Ben Foster, who clings onto the ball gratefully.

    West Brom 2-1 Watford

    Richarlison, the Brazilian under 20 international is looking like a great acquisition for Watford.

    The £11m summer signing has another chance from outside the area which goes wide.

    It's all Watford now.

    Etienne Capoue has a shot from distance which deflects wide for a corner, before Richarlison goes close again, heading over from a deep Capoue cross.

    Abdoulaye Doucoure

    Excellent response from Marco Silva's side, and now they have a goal to show for it.

    Troy Deeney wins an aerial battle with Ahmed Hegazi, Richarlison feeds the ball into the path of Abdoulaye Doucoure, who fires a left-footed strike beyond Foster.

    Good game, this.

    West Brom 2-0 Waford

    That should have been one back for Watford.

    Richarlison plays a neat one-two with Troy Deeney into the West Brom box; the Brazilian decides not to go for goal, instead teeing up Andre Carrillo at a seemingly ideal height for a simple headed finish, but it goes over from six yards.

    Corner for West Brom, Chris Brunt to send it in... and it causes problems once again.

    It's from the opposite side to the Jonny Evans goal but flies over the desperate grasp of Heurelho Gomes and onto the head of Ahmed Hegazi, who is unable to control his headed finish which goes well over.

    First touch of the ball for Ben Foster in the West Brom goal, but he isn't really tested, as a tame Richarlison header glides into his hands.

    Phew.

    After that quick-fire double a break in play as Waford's Etienne Capoue goes down.

    The Frenchman is fine to continue, though.

    Watford boss Marco Silva uses the delay to issue some instructions to Tom Cleverley and captain Troy Deeney.

    Jonny Evans

    You wait all season to score more than one goal in a Premier League match, then two come along in two minutes and 58 seconds!

    Matt Phillips whips a corner in which comes off the top of Abdoulaye Doucoure's head and straight into the path of Jonny Evans, who makes a simple finish.

    Salomon Rondón

    Polish international Grzegorz Krychowiak plays a long ball down the centre of the park for West Brom which Salomon Rondon and Christian Kabasele compete for.

    Rondon shrugs off the Hornets man and still has work to do before scoring from the tightest of angles beyond Gomes.

    Could the 'keeper have done more there?

    There's a break on for West Brom and Matt Phillips has the ball just on the edge of Watford's 18-yard box, but when he plays the ball across the face of goal there are only Hornets defenders to be found and the ball is cleared away.

    West Brom 0-0 Watford

    Plenty of possession for Watford so far in this game, they're moving the ball around with the sort confidence you'd expect from a side who have won all their Premier League away games so far this season.

    No real opportunities on goal for either side yet, though.

    West Brom 0-0 Watford

    Watford have a throw just inside the West Brom half.

    Jose Holebas sends it in before Ahmed Hegazi heads away, but only for another Hornets throw.

    In again from Holebas... and he wins the first corner of the afternoon, which is cleared by the hosts without much fuss.

    There was a big blow for Watford in the week, with news that midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah is to have surgery on a knee injury he suffered during training.

    The 22-year-old joined the Hornets from Chelsea for £5.5m in the summer.

    He played in the club's first five Premier League games before picking up the injury last week.

    Etienne Capoue takes the place of the England international this afternoon.

  20. 'Visitors looking to maintain superb away form'published at 14:48 British Summer Time 30 September 2017

    West Brom v Watford (15:00 BST)

    John Roder
    Match of the Day commentator

    Watford have already taken maximum points from trips to Bournemouth, Southampton and Swansea, scoring two goals in each victory.

    A win for West Brom would take them level with Watford going into the international break, and maintain their unbeaten record at home in the league this season.

    However the Baggies have scored only four times in their six league matches so far, and haven't found goals easy to come by against Watford in recent meetings.

    That's thanks largely to Heurelho Gomes, who has started all of Watford's league matches since November 2014.
