Ex-Burnley man Andre Gray is the first in the ref's book.

He tries to hold off James Tarkowski but catches the defender in the face with his arm and Paul Tierney isn't impressed.

Right decision not to give a red though.

Watford have another chance to break and suddenly it's two-on-two.

Gerard Deulofeu runs at Phil Bardsley with Andre Gray and Abdoulaye Doucoure making runs for him but he dithers and Charlie Taylor gets back to pick his pocket.

He'll be kicking himself.

From the corner, Ben Mee calls for a penalty after tangling with Adrian Mariappa.

Referee Paul Tierney calls it the other way and Watford have a free kick.

Clever play from Chris Wood and Burnley have the game's first corner.

The burly frontman bullies Craig Dawson into nudging the ball behind and there's a chance for the Burnley defenders to rumble forward.

Last time I covered Watford they were at Man City and were 5-0 down at this point.

A lot more solid so far today.

A James Tarkowski error and suddenly Gerard Deulofeu springs into life.

He picks the pocket of the Burnley defender, drives to the edge of the area and fires at goal.

New England keeper Nick Pope gets down really well to save with his feet.

...which Gerard Deulofeu floats harmlessly into the hands of Nick Pope.

That was a waste.

James Tarkowski cleans out Will Hughes and Watford have a dangerous-looking free-kick...

Handbags between Jose Holebas and Phil Bardsley. These guys ought to know better.

Both of them do escape their usual mandatory yellow cards though.

A bit of trickery down the left gets Dwight McNeil an ounce of space to cross.

Etienne Capoue is in the right place though and he clears from inside the six-yard box.

Etienne Capoue sweeps a lovely ball out wide to Jose Holebas and suddenly Watford are breaking.

Abdoulaye Doucoure is in oceans of space at the back stick but the cross is too looping and his header down is easily dealt with by the Burnley defence. Opportunity lost.

Early signs are that Watford's full backs Kiko Femenia and Jose Holebas are looking to bomb on and put pressure on the Burnley full-backs.

Gerard Deulofeu is dropping deep to link the play but James Tarkowski is keeping a close eye.

Dwight McNeil will try to exploit space in behind Femenia.

Watford do possess plenty of aerial threat from set pieces.

Gerard Deulofeu swings a boot at a free kick, big centre half Craig Dawson gets his head to it but it spins over.

Although last time they played here, the score was 0-0.

Not much happening yet.

Ashley Barnes has had a shot from 40 yards blocked though.

Watford have yet to win at home this season, three draws and three defeats.

Burnley have the exact same record away from home.

Fingers and toes crossed for a thriller.

It's a bit murky but here we go.

He only turned 20 yesterday but Dwight McNeil has been turning heads since breaking into the Burnley team in January.

He's set up eight goals in claret colours, seven of those assists being laid on for Chris Wood.

Gerard Deulofeu is a famine-and-feast forward.

Luckily for Watford, the striker who didn't score in his first 10 games this season has got two in two and looked at his menacing best against Norwich.

When he's on a hot streak, he's very tricky to handle which means Ben Mee and James Tarkowski will need to be alert this afternoon.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche admits he is 'pleased' with his side's displays this season.

The Clarets sit in 11th ahead of today's game with Watford but are just two points behind fifth-placed Sheffield United.

"Generally, the people who have watched us a lot think we have delivered good performances," he says.

“We’ve had a couple of blips but that can happen and we’ve got a healthy points return so far.

"I’ve been pretty pleased and it’s got to continue at Watford."

Quique Sanchez Flores has worked wonders to stiffen a Watford backline that had let in 20 goals in seven games but he insists it's not all about defence.

"Everyone knows in football my favourite system is 4-4-2,” he says.

“We need to avoid risk in defence at the moment and little by little we are getting results.

“We are far from perfect but we have amazing players for 4-4-2. We need to recuperate more confidence if we are to play this kind of system."
