    The form of Ben Foster has been a big reason why Watford have turned things around. He makes big saves at key moments in games.

    Matthew Conroy: Wolves fans on Sunday: VAR is horrendous. Wolves fans today: always liked VAR, never doubted it.

    Watford 2-1 Wolves

    More pressure from Wolves, as they search for an equaliser. Ruben Neves collects a cleared corner but Adam Masina is in his face quickly to block the shot.

    They'll need more of that type of commitment to hang on.

    Great save. Ruben Vinagre is on his bike down the left, delivers a lovely cross into the middle where Matt Doherty's header is well saved by Ben Foster.

    The first of many chances, I'd suspect.

    Opta say that since the start of last season, no player has received more red cards in the Premier League than Watford's Christian Kabasele (three, level with Tottenham's Son Heung-min).

    As a result of that, goalscorer Gerard Deulofeu gets the hook as Nigel Pearson's team try to hold on.

    Adam Masina comes on at right-back with Craig Dawson moving into the middle.

    The home fans aren't happy, it was a debatable one. Clear and obvious? Not sure.

    Joao Moutinho is over the free-kick 25 yards out and is clips the wall as Ben Foster gathers.

    Watford down to 10 men, with 20 or so minutes left.

    This should be interesting. Hold tight.
