Brentford appear to be moving towards a substitution or two.

They need something different just to try and break through Norwich's very disciplined shape off the ball.

Ball not falling for Brentford at the moment as they try and carve out opportunities to shoot on goal.

Just missing the last pass or final ball to get things going.

David Raya to Brentford's rescue once again as he denies Teemu Pukki with a low driven shot from just outside the penalty area this time.

Good save to get down low and across to his right post after the ball went through a sea of legs.

First Norwich booking of the evening as Mario Vrancic is carded for a late challenge on Vitaly Janelt.

Brentford waste the chance to use the free-kick as it's headed well wide at the back post by Ethan Pinnock.

Bulk of the early second-half pressure comes from Brentford.

But nothing as yet in terms of a killer ball into Norwich's area.

Back under way meanwhile at Carrow Road.

No changes so far to either side. Are Norwich heading for a 10-point lead at the top?

Wycombe are just about keeping themselves in the hunt for Championship survival in their first season at this level after picking up occasional wins.

But Gareth Ainsworth and his leather jacket will need to pull off a masterstroke this evening to keep their Great Escape alive as they make the relatively short trip to face Watford at Vicarage Road.

The Hornets can go level on points with second-placed Brentford this evening if results go their way and will be desperate to bounce back from Saturday's defeat by fellow promotion contenders Bournemouth on Saturday.

Five wins from five and seven games unbeaten have propelled Barnsley to within touching distance of the play-off places in a season where they have defied expectations and the sudden loss of a manager.

Valerien Ismael has had them purring in recent weeks, including ending Brentford's incredible unbeaten run in spectacular style and running Chelsea close in the FA Cup.

Tonight, they're in west London once again to face QPR who are this season's dictionary definition of inconsistency.

A draw and defeat halted their four-match winning run resurgence last week so can the Hoops get back into the groove?

Third placed Watford make three changes from the starting XI who lost 1-0 away to Bournemouth, as Craig Cathcart, Nathaniel Chalobah and Joao Pedro miss out, with William Troost-Ekong, Philip Zinckernagel and Andre Gray coming in.

Bottom club Wycombe Wanderers make a double change from Saturday's 2-0 defeat to league leaders Norwich City, with Ryan Tafazolli and Joe Jacobson returning, as Anis Mehmeti and Jordan Obita drop out.

Watford XI: Bachmann, Femenia, Troost-Ekong, Sierralta, Masina, Hughes, Cleverley, Zinckernagel, Sarr, Gray, Sema.

Subs: Elliot, Ngakia, Barrett, Cathcart, Wilmot, Hungbo, Pochettino, Perica, Success

Wycombe Wanderers XI: Stockdale, Grimmer, Jacobson, Gape, Stewart, Tafazolli, Wheeler, Ikpeazu, Knight, Horgan, Onyedinma.

Subs: Allsop, Kashket, Muskwe, Thompson, McCleary, Akinfenwa, McCarthy, Ofobornh, Mehmeti.

Queens Park Rangers have made three changes from their 2-1 defeat at Birmingham on Saturday, as Ilias Chair, Lyndon Dykes and Lee Wallace come in for Niko Hamalainen, Chris Willock and Macauley Bonne.

Play-off chasers Barnsley have made two changes from the weekend's 2-1 victory against Millwall, with Toby Sibbick and Conor Chaplin replacing Michael Sollbauer and Carlton Morris.

Queens Park Rangers XI: Dieng, Kane, Dickie, Cameron, Barbet, Wallace, Johansen, Ball, Chair, Dykes, Austin.

Subs: Lumley, Kakay, Hamalainen, Field, Thomas, Willock, Adomah, Bonne, Kelman.

Barnsley XI: Collins, Helik, Andersen, Styles, Palmer, Mowatt, Brittain, Dike, Woodrow, Sibbick, Chaplin.

Subs: Walton, Sollbauer, Morris, Halme, Oduor, Williams, Kane, Frieser, Adeboyejo.

In the meantime, we can also let you know what's on the way later tonight.

1-0 is how it stands at the break courtesy of Emi Buendia's goal, but Norwich should be two goals to the good really.

Teemu Pukki breaks the offside trap on the halfway line on the counter and he is clear through on goal.

But somehow David Raya keeps his cool and stays big to block the Finn's effort on goal and keep his side in this still.

How big a moment might that be come full-time?

Couple of minutes added on at the end of this first half.

Teemu Pukki gets another half-sight of goal as he tries to turn and shoot in the Brentford area. Winston Reid and Ethan Pinnock there just in time to block its path.

Offside flag goes up after that ball in to the Brentford penalty area.

Half-time approaching and Brentford in need of a spark to get themselves back into this.

Winston Reid makes a clumsy sliding challenge on Mario Vrancic and goes in the book for that as well.

Free-kick for Norwich on the left of the penalty area once Vrancic is back on his feet.

At the other end, Mario Vrancic has a dig from distance after cutting inside from the left but wildly cuts across the ball and it flies wide.

Brentford have a free-kick about 35 yards from goal, probably just outside of shooting range but one that'd probably still tempt some to have a crack.

As it is, Mathias Jensen tries to dink in a cross from the angle but it drifts harmlessly over everyone and away from danger.

A nice angle here from which to appreciate Emi Buendia's goal that separates these two so far.

His 10th league goal this season.

Brentford boss Thomas Frank far from happy with something after seeing his side concede that goal.

He's remonstrating with the fourth official for some reason, but his protests fall on deaf ears.

Mario Vrancic tries to fizz a shot on goal after Onel Hernandez's ball across but David Raya can easily gather that.
