The half-time whistle goes with Bournemouth having drawn level just before the break.

Kiko Femenia's first Watford goal gave the Hornets an early lead and they've had most of the possession, 54.3% in fact.

But Bournemouth have fashioned the odd shooting opportunity and one was saved by Orestis Karnezis, with Jose Holebas using his arm to prevent Jordon Ibe nodding in the rebound.

Joshua King rolled in the penalty to round off a fairly lively - and fairly even - first half.

Oh, I lied. It is serious. Junior Stanislas needs two men to help him hobble off. That's why I'm not a physio! Marc Pugh comes on to replace him.

Two minutes of stoppage time are indicated as Junior Stanislas received treatment. Doesn't look serious though.

Ortestis Karnezis makes a save from Junior Stanislas and Jose Holebas bundles the rebound behind. The referee points to the spot, though, as it came off the defender's arm. Holebas is booked for denying Jordon Ibe the chance to head the ball in from a tight angle.

Joshua King finds space to get a shot away and it's deflected for a Bournemouth corner, which is easily dealt with.

Bournemouth are struggling to get Callum Wilson into the game though. He's barely had a touch. Here they all are, all in the Watford half.

Watford have enjoyed most of the possession with Bournemouth looking dangerous on the break - no wonder when you've got players with the pace of Junior Stanislas, Jordon Ibe and Joshua King.

Jose Holebas hits the free-kick straight into the wall and it comes back out to him. But it's another poor effort by Holebas as his shot goes straight at Asmir Begovic. Should have let Kiko Femenia have it!

Junior Stanislas is caught in possession by Will Hughes before Stanislas brings Hughes down as he bursts towards the Bournemouth box.

Abdoulaye Doucoure shot is blocked for a Watford corner, which is cleared by Charlie Daniels.

Just seen a replay of the goal. It actually took a touch off Joshua King but it's definitely Kiko Femenia's goal. Was heading on target. That's his first since joining the Hornets last summer.

Now Watford manage to make it into the Bournemouth box, with Troy Deeney running at the Cherries' defence, but Will Hughes scuffs the loose ball wide from around 12 yards.

Watford are playing the ball around but can't fashion a chance to get into the Bournemouth box. Etienne Capoue then has a shot blocked by Steve Cook.

The corner comes to nothing and Will Hughes is fouled as Watford look to build possession in midfield.

Adrian Mariappa is caught in possession by Joshua King, who races through on goal, but Sebastian Prodl covers to prevent King getting a shot away and concede a corner.

Another Bournemouth free-kick from around 35 yards out, this time whipped straight in by Junior Stanislas.

Again Nathan Ake meets it and this time he can only direct it over.

Troy Deeney is flagged offside as Watford look to keep the pressure on.

Roberto Pereyra takes on right-back Ryan Fraser and wins a corner, the first of the game. But Jose Holebas' outswinger is easily cleared.
