Ten minutes of the second half have rather ambled by without much happening.

I wouldn't write Watford off just yet. Daryl Janmaat, the right-back, sees a chance to attack and darts past two Burnley men to reach the penalty area. Steven Defour gets across in the nick of time to block him out, and then ball goes off the Watford man for a goal kick.

Nervy moment for Watford centre-back Adrian Mariappa, who slips with Chris Wood bearing down on him. He recovers just in time to clear up the mess.

At the other end, Richarlison rolls a square pass for Abdoulaye Doucoure to shoot from 20 yards, but the ball rolls wide.

Richarlison attacks down the left for Watford, running at Phil Bardsley, but hits a weak cross that is deflected into Nick Pope's hands. If anything, it's getting colder at Turf Moor.

Watford make a positive start to the second half. Burnley defender James Tarkowski has to head away one long throw, and then Jose Holebas surges down the left, only to undo his good work by ballooning a cross into the Cricket Field Stand.

John: As a Watford fan, was really looking forward to the Burnley v Watford match. Two sides performing above expectations, Dyche the ex-WFC manager. ...and ruined by the ref. Never a red card. Not to mention a WFC penalty not given when Richarlison pulled down. Video refs needed.

Watford head coach Marco Silva was in animated discussion with referee Lee Probert as the teams left the pitch at half-time. It would seem that Silva is of the same view on the red card as Kevin Kilbane.

The visitors, with 10 men following Marvin Zeegelaar's 39th-minute sending-off, get the second half under way.

Just to help you (although not a lot): Elton's list consists of seven grounds in the Premier League (including Wembley), five in the Championship, seven in League One and four in League Two. And he's never performed at Turf Moor. (Although he has played at the home of their greatest rivals.)

A half-time quiz for you while I go for a cup of tea. The former Watford chairman Elton John has performed concerts at 23 of the current Premier League and EFL grounds. I’m including Wembley, Tottenham’s temporary home, in that list. How many of the others can you name?

Answer at full-time.

Kevin Kilbane
Former Everton winger on Final Score

Zeegelaar goes low, hurling himself forward, but to be honest to me that doesn't look like a red-card offence.

Watford, having made a fine start, had a dreadful six minutes at the end of that half. I'd just like to bring in Kevin Kilbane on that sending-off...

A couple more scares for Watford. Daryl Janmaat escapes a penalty shout as he blocks Scott Arfield's shot with his arm. And now keeper Heurelho Gomes, who made a good save to beat away a Johann Gudmundsson cross-shot, needs treatment, although he's OK again now.

Jose Holebas almost makes an instant impact, charging forward to fire a shot high into the side-netting. But then...

Unsurprisingly, Watford head coach Marco Silva decides on a reshuffle. Roberto Pereyra, a forward, is taken off, and Jose Holebas comes on at left-back.

Suddenly, the game develops an edge, and Watford lose their left-back. Tom Cleverley goes in, and as the ball runs loose following his tackle, Marvin Zeegelaar makes a two-footed challenge on Steven Defour. The Dutchman's feet are not that far off the ground, but repeated viewings show it is the right decison by referee Lee Probert.

Watford knock the ball around really well when they get the chance. A flurry of passes threatens to stretch the home defence, and Roberto Pereyra chips in from the right towards full-back Daryl Janmaat. But the Netherlands international, up from the back, can only direct a tame header into Nick Pope's hands.

A well-timed challenge by Burnley centre-back James Tarkowski sets Chris Wood over the halfway line. He feeds left for Steven Defour to cross back towards the striker, who is somewhat harshly judged offside. In any case, Watford defender Christian Kabasele makes a fine diving header interception. But it should be a Burnley corner rather than a Hornets free-kick.

Feels a bit like a fencing contest at the moment. Both teams are just pushing for an opening, without committing themselves too much, and without finding the gap in their opponents' defences.

"It's got a bit scrappy," says Match of the Day's Steve Wilson. "Watford started well, but it's been pretty even since that first 10 minutes."

Watford's yellow shirts stand out nicely against the blizzard. Burnley try to pick a way through, but to no avail. Steven Defour, on the counter, runs at the away defence, but Christian Kabasele clears. Then Watford attack, but the home side get numbers back quickly.
