  1. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 21 mins

    Watford 2-0 Huddersfield

    Chris Lowe, one of those whose tackling left a lot to be desired just before, slams a superb left-footed shot in from around 30 yards out. Ben Foster gets a slight finger-tip to it to send it on to the bar - great save from a great effort.

    Gerard Deulofeu

    Another cracker, but very different to the first!

    Gerard Deulofeu collects on the right, eludes some more non-committal tackling from Huddersfield's defence, and then, from a tight angle, slams the ball over Jonas Lossl's right shoulder high into the net for his first since February.

    That's Roberto Pereyra's fifth of the season, by the way. That's one more than Huddersfield have managed between them in the league.

    Roberto Pereyra

    Wow! What an individual effort from Roberto Pereyra! He collects on the left flank, then waltzes across through five ineffectual tackles into the box before sending the ball home via Jonas Lossl's left hand.

    Scratch that 'good start by Huddersfield' stuff...

  7. CLOSE!published at 7 mins

    Watford 0-0 Huddersfield

    Alex Pritchard runs on to a pass from the right and his first-time effort goes curling just over the bar. The Terriers have made an excellent start, little showing from Watford as yet.

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 6 mins

    Watford 0-0 Huddersfield

    Aaron Mooy, who scored twice on this ground last December, drills in a low, left-footed effort after the ball bounced around the edge of the box. Foster drops to his left and saves one-handed.

    Durm gets down the right, cuts inside on to his left foot and shoots, forcing Craig Cathcart to concede a corner...

    Watford 0-0 Huddersfield

    Erik Durm chases down a long ball and forces Ben Foster out of his area, the keeper making a sliced clearance that sends the ball clear out of the ground.

    Not sure if that was followed by the tinkle of smashed glass and 'can we have our ball back?'...

  11. Who is Isaac Mbenza?published at 15:02 British Summer Time 27 October 2018

    Watford v Huddersfield (15:00 BST)

    Isaac Mbenza is on a season-long loan from Montpellier, for whom the 22-year-old Belgium Under 21 international has scored 11 goals in 54 appearances. He's also played for Standard Liege and Valenciennes, and his only start this season was in the Carabao Cup defeat by Stoke City.

    There's an early touch for debutante Isaac Mbenza, nodding Philip Billing's cross across goal but Watford break downfield. Gerard Deulofeu gets the chance to cross from the left, but a Huddersfield leg blocks the low effort.

    Not one, but two footballing legends for a Saturday. And yes, it's October and Conor's wearing a wooly hat. He's not as tough as I thought.

  16. Lawro's predictionspublished at 14:55 British Summer Time 27 October 2018

    Watford v Huddersfield (15:00 BST)

    Mark Lawrenson
    Ex-Liverpool defender and BBC football expert

    Watford's win at Wolves was arguably the result of last weekend and they will be confident of getting another three points here.

    Huddersfield have picked up two decent away draws at Everton and Burnley recently, and made life difficult for Liverpool last time out too, but their lack of a goal threat means it is hard to see them getting anything at Vicarage Road.

    Lawro's prediction: 2-0

    Richard Ashcroft's prediction: 2-0

  17. 'Terriers seek change in luck'published at 14:54 British Summer Time 27 October 2018

    Watford v Huddersfield (15:00 BST)

    Martin Fisher
    Match of the Day commentator

    Huddersfield are in desperate need of a change in fortune and will hope that Watford and Vicarage Road prove lucky again.

    David Wagner's side have now gone 13 Premier League games without a win, their last coming at home to Watford in April. They've only scored four goals all season but managed four in one afternoon on their most recent trip to Hertfordshire last Christmas.

    Watford have lost their last two at home but rediscovered the winning habit impressively at Wolves, and will see this as the perfect chance to extend their best start to a Premier League season.
