Watford are just controlling the tempo of the game now. When they counter they go quick with one or two passes. They are keeping possession well and just waiting to go at the heart of Bournemouth - and it's worrying for Eddie Howe.

Guess what? Bournemouth have given it away at the back again.

Watford don't charge towards goal this time though. They don't have to. They know they have their opponents right where they want them.

It says a lot that after 70 minutes, Bournemouth are having to change their whole backline. That's a worry and they haven't looked comfortable at the back all game.

Bournemouth have switched their defence to how we'd expected them to start. Simon Francis has gone to right-back, Nathan Ake alongside Steve Cook in the middle, with Adam Smith switching to left-back on the near side. Meanwhile, Watford skipper Troy Deeney continues to keep them all busy as the Hornets' lone striker.

The Cherries are readying England Under-21 striker Sam Surridge, recently recalled from his loan spell at Swansea.

"We've got super Nigel Pearson" is the song from the Watford fans now.

Bob Moss: How does Pearson do it? Great tactics, good players or just the players are so scared of him they give 100%.

Greg Morter: What a job Nigel Pearson has done so far at Watford given where they were when he took over.

Don't bet against this getting ugly for Bournemouth. Gerard Deulofeu runs past the Cherries midfield as if it's not there before his shot is blocked.

It looks as though someone may have smuggled a flare into the away section, a cloud of yellow smoke in the middle of the Watford fans takes a while to dissipate. Stewards in attendance.

All of the noise is coming from the Watford fans now and it's no surprise. Nigel Pearson's side are out of the relegation zone as it stands.

Watford have Sarr to thank for all of this - his skill, his composure. He gets one on one against Nathan Ake, then he chops Steve Cook, then all he has to do is pick out a pass. Troy Deeney isn't going to miss from there and he smashes it home.

Great opportunity for Chalobah, great bit of skill from him. If it was on target, Travers would've have hot there. Bournemouth need to get a little bit tighter to him because they all stood off him.

Nathaniel Chalobah, another goal scorer in the FA Cup last week, has a go from range for Watford. It wasn't too far away from the top corner.

I think Jefferson Lerma has really struggled and I still think he's got an injury. I watched him at West Ham and he didn't look right and he hasn't looked righht today either. Like-for-like change - Lewis Cook is very good on the ball and creative.

Philip Billing scored twice in the Cup last week and he tries to work space in the area to continue that run but can't quite sort his long legs out. At the other end Bournemouth look stretched. Watford are dangerous on the break.

Eddie Howe rolls the dice. Well, kind of.

He makes his first substitutions by introducing two midfielders. Lewis Cook and Philip Billing come on for Jefferson Lerma and Dan Gosling.

Nathan Ake got a whack in the back but Watford just carried it and played down his side. He did well to get back into shape but they still had an overload. Gerard Deulofeu was off balance but Watford should be putting this game to bed.

Nathan Ake looks to be in some pain. He was holding his lower back just before that Watford counter-attack, gritted his teeth to track back with Ismaila Sarr.

Bournemouth have a left-back on the bench in Diego Rico, but it's central midfield duo Philip Billing and Lewis Cook who are being readied to come on.

This is an 'orange' card if ever you saw one. Troy Deeney with the most cynical of tackles to prevent a counter attack.

Another big chance for Watford. It's brilliant football from the Hornets. The work the ball right across the pitch on the break but Gerard Deulofeu slices the finish horribly wide.
