    Chris Allen: Conte deserves to be sacked just for constantly picking Bakayoko.

    Nii: P45 for Señor Conte ?

    Princewill Nwosu: is this the beginning of the end for Conte? I think so...

    Alan Ferguson: Wonder will Conte be at Chelsea long enough to see Giroud play

    Chelsea have been second to every 50-50 ball. They’ve been very poor. Watford deserve the lead. Antonio Conte is very animated, he’s clearly feeling the pressure. He – and Chelsea – cannot afford to lose this game.

    Two minutes of time added on at the end of the first half.

    Chelsea break quickly through Victor Moses, who feeds the ball to Pedro on the edge of the Watford area. Chance for an equaliser? It is, but Pedro shoots well over.

    Andy Capontes: If Harry Kane’s was a penalty then that is a stone wall penalty!

    Fi3ld: another clear as day dive. Player just slows and dives making contact himself.

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 44 mins

    Richarlison clips Pedro's feet as the Chelsea forward attempts to break forward. Yellow card for the Watford striker.

    Former Arsenal & England striker on BBC Radio 5 live

    Gerard Deulofeu is on his way down. He’s getting his foot to where he can feel some contact. He could have jumped over him and got the ball. He wants to go down. He’s not even thinking of getting the ball around Courtois to tap it into the net. It’s a dive.

    GOAL - Watford 1-0 Chelseapublished at 42 mins

    Troy Deeney pen

    Fully deserved.

    Troy Deeney slams home the spot kick and Watford have the lead their performance deserves.

    Not sure I'd have backed Chelsea to get back into this with 11 men, never mind 10.

    Gerard Deulofeu races onto a ball into the area, Thibaut Courtiois is out of his area quickly and ends up catching the forward's feet. Penalty...

    Watford 0-0 Chelsea

    Disciplinary problems? Chelsea have now had the most red cards in the Premier League this season with four - level with Watford - and are onto seven in total in all competitions.

    Only Grimsby Town (8) have been shown more red cards in all competitions of English football this season.

    Watford 0-0 Chelsea

    Richarlison has been very lively tonight and he brings a save out of Thibaut Courtois with an effort from outside the box. It's a comfortable save, with the Brazilian shooting straight at Courtois, but Watford getting that little bit closer to a breakthrough.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 34 mins

    Antonio Conte responds to going a man down by taking off Willian - also not at his best today - and sending on Cesc Fabregas.

    Shout out for this tweeter a few minutes ago, who half-predicted the future.

    bennethakwuegwu: Would be fitting for Bakayoko to cap a wonderful performance so far with an own goal and a red card, while Conte gets sacked in the morning.

    He has had an absolute horror 30 minutes. He gave the ball away nearly ever time he had it, he picked up two yellow cards. He's had an absolute shocker.

  16. RED CARD FOR BAKAYOKOpublished at 30 mins

    Watford 0-0 Chelsea

    A terrible game gets even worse for Tiemoue Bakayoko.

    For the 1,567th time his first touch is terrible and as he goes scampering off to get the ball back he collides with Richarlison.

    Booked just moments earlier, Mike Dean shows Bakayoko a second yellow. A tad harsh, but it was coming.

    Genuinely awful display by the midfielder today.

    Watford 0-0 Chelsea

    For all of Watford's attacking play they haven't done anything to worry Thibaut Courtois in the Chelsea goal just yet.

    At the other end of the pitch, Pedro hits the post but the whistle had blown just before for a handball by Victor Moses.

  18. YELLOW CARDpublished at 25 mins

    Watford 0-0 Chelsea

    Tiemoue Bakayoko loses possession to Etienne Capoue.

    Tiemoue Bakayoko pretty much rugby tackles Etienne Capoue to try and get the ball back. Yellow card.

    Free-kick Watford and another moment to forget for Bakayoko.

    This has been a very encouraging performance by Watford. They are doing all the attacking, although have been helped out by some suspect Chelsea defending.
