    Crystal Palace 1-0 Watford

    Time is running out for Watford.

    After the heights of last weekend's win over Liverpool this is looking like a rather different story for the Hornets who will continue to hover over the relegation places on goal difference.

    Christian Kabasele concedes a free-kick in the Palace half to relieve the pressure on the hosts.

    Wilfried Zaha breaks clear for Crystal Palace as Roy Hodgson's side try to put the game to bed, but Zaha runs out of steam and is caught before he can do any damage.

    Crystal Palace 1-0 Watford

    We're heading towards the final 10 minutes now and it's all very much still to play for.

    Crystal Palace could have put this to bed by now, while Watford could easily be level - or better.

    Palace are heading into the top half as it stands, though.

    Christian Benteke! That would have been something!

    The Palace forward attempts a stunning overhead kick and Ben Foster can only watch as it hits the side-netting.

    Lovely stuff.

    Another good save by Vicente Guaita, who scrambles across his goal to palm Abdoulaye Doucoure's header out for a corner.

    Nothing comes of the initial corner, but Will Hughes' shot from the edge of the box is well blocked.

    Neither side has been able to seize control of this second half so far.

    Watford are still very much in this game and Troy Deeney reminds Palace of that - firing a powerful shot from range that forces Vicente Guaita into a good save.

    Crystal Palace break at speed through Wilfried Zaha, who beats Ismaila Sarr to the ball to win a corner for his side.

    Roberto Pereyra shoots from just inside the box but his shot is caught by an untroubled Vicente Guaita.

    Watford will have to manage better than that to draw level here.

    Good save from Ben Foster to deny Wilfried Zaha!

    Zaha knocks the ball past Craig Cathcart but fails to make the most of the opportunity as he shoots straight at Ben Foster.

    Abdoulaye Doucoure drags Wilfried Zaha back and receives a yellow card now.

    Really scrappy start to the second half.

    It's being reviewed by VAR...
