And that's where we'll end tonight's live text coverage.

We'll be back tomorrow with a packed EFL fixture list including 11 games in the Championship.

Coventry against Brentford kicks things off at 12:30 GMT.

Hope to see you then!

Derby stay 17th and six points above the drop zone. Positive results for Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham on Saturday could see that gap cut to just three points.

Watford's bid to seal an immediate return to the Premier League is gathering steam...

It got a bit nervy towards the end but in the end I think it's a deserved win for Watford.

Joao Pedro and Will Hughes scored within two first-half minutes to put them in control.

Derby had one controversially ruled out and a William Troost-Ekong own goal gave them hope, but Wayne Rooney's side didn't create enough in truth.

Dan Gosling heads it clear for Watford.

But Derby keep the pressure on and win another corner.

Keeper David Marshall comes up! He goes for a header and there's a bit of a scramble but the home side survive.

Craig Cathcart spoons the ball behind and Derby have a corner.

This could be their last chance.

Watford are keeping the ball in the corner nicely and the seconds are ticking by.

Substitute Philip Zinckernagel eventually shoots and David Marshall holds onto it.

Derby full-back Nathan Byrne goes in the book for holding onto the leg of an opponent.

Watford are trying to keep the ball in the attacking third and Ismaila Sarr is a box of tricks in the corner, winning a priceless free-kick for the hosts.

Lee Gregory gets his head to a looping Nathan Byrne cross but Watford keeper Daniel Bachmann holds on with ease.

We're into five minutes of added time.

Derby striker Colin Kazim-Richards tangles with Watford defender Adam Masina as they battle for a high ball.

Masina goes down but is OK to continue.

Not long left for the visitors now.

Wow - Nathan Byrne whips in a corner for Derby and Watford keeper Daniel Bachmann has to claw the ball away to stop it going straight in.

He was very alert and he had to be.

Teenage midfielder Louie Sibley is on for Derby, who look somewhat reinvigorated after that goal.

Martyn Waghorn is the player to make way.

We have 10 minutes left plus added time.

Oh dear.

Derby have a free-kick 30 yards out and try an intricate routine, but Lee Gregory is penalised for fouling a Watford defender.

The visitors don't particularly look like scoring.

Ismaila Sarr's turn of pace is unbelievable.

The Watford forward cuts in off the right and ghosts past Max Bird but he snatches at his left-footed strike and it goes well wide.

Derby looked threatening from set-pieces in the first half but this time Martyn Waghorn's corner doesn't beat the first man and his second attempt is behind the cluster of players in the box.

Even despite his goal, Watford midfielder Will Hughes is having a stormer against his former employers.

He's pulling the strings, picking out passes and generally controlling things for the home side.

Colin Kazim-Richards takes the ball on his chest in the box but is volley on the turn is very wayward.

The Derby striker certainly hasn't been short of effort.

Watford respond with a like-for-like change in midfield.

The impressive Nathaniel Chalobah makes way for Dan Gosling, who joined the Hornets from Bournemouth last month.

Wayne Rooney has seen enough and makes a double Derby change, with Graeme Shinnie and Patrick Roberts replaced by Lee Gregory and Kamil Jozwiak.

No Rams substitute has scored in the Championship this season - this would be a good time for that to change.
