Going in, it should be a draw for me but it's been a very good first half.

Troy Deeney strikes again.
Watford 1-0 Aston Villa
Tom Heaton has to deal with a bouncing back pass as Gerard Deulofeu puts him under pressure. All he can do is hoof it as high as he can into the stand to his left.
Villa need the whistle to go.

The less said about that half the better.

Time for Dean Smith to go. Can't choose the right formation or players and we are giving away stupid goals every game!
Anon (remember to put your names on texts please)
I know Smith is struggling for in-form wingers but Grealish out wide is a waste. He can't influence the game and he's Villa's best hope to make something happen.

Sofiane Boufal does ever so well down the left, weaving in and out of challenges and making his way into the box.
He doesn't hit it - even though the space is there - and instead opts for a lifted cross. He doesn't find a teammate.

Aston Villa were trying to play out from the back but I think they were asking for trouble. Tom Heaton has palmed it back and Troy Deeney has finished it off, but I don't think you can blame him completely. I don't know what the Villa defence were doing inviting that pressure on.

It's been a very good game. Everton were very good in the first 25 minutes but in the last 15 minutes, Newcastle have turned the pace up and Everton can't live with them. They just need a goal.
Newcastle United 0-1 Everton
Theo Walcott still plays like he's 17, great pace to beat two men and then a bizarre pass to, er, absolutley nobody. Another rough diamond Miguel Almiron burns away from the defence but then rashley rifles a shot wide. Slice city.
Newcastle United 0-1 Everton
Everton were superb in the first 10-15 minutes but it's one-way stuff now. They're hanging on for half-time and need to stiffen up that midfield.
Troy Deeney
Ezri Konsa blasts a clearance into Troy Deeney, who had put him under pressure and it falls to Abdoulaye Doucoure.
He hits it low and hard and Tom Heaton can only palm it back into the path of Deeney, who just about squeezes it into the far corner.

We said that Everton's team was attacking but those attack-minded players are struggling now they are being asked to defend. Ancelotti might to have change it at half-time. Newcastle are running riot.
Watford 0-0 Aston Villa
Ismaila Sarr, who is busy this afternoon, takes down a long ball superbly, beats the full-back in the process and slaloms into the box.
He waits and waits before pulling the trigger but it's blocks. The resulting corner then falls at Troy Deeney's feet and he tamely passes it into the keeper's hands. Big chance missed.

I think the only way Southampton seem to be able to open up Crystal Palace's defence is through James Ward-Prowse. His skill from free-kicks and corners is very dangerous but otherwise Palace's defence look organised.
Southampton 0-0 Crystal Palace
We have a shot!!!!
Martin Kelly blasts it miles wide...
Newcastle United 0-1 Everton
It's all Newcastle as Everton's midfield now looks chronically under-staffed. Tom Davies loses the ball and there's overloads everywhere, Fabian Schar carries the ball downfield and unleashes a rattler which Jordan Pickford is strong to turn over but he had two men outside him. Pass it on!
Watford 0-0 Aston Villa
Ismaila Sarr makes a nice run down the right and drives a dangerous ball across the face of the six-yard box.
Abdoulaye Doucoure is the target but he can't quite get there ahead of Tom Heaton .
