    The crowd are trying to get behind the hosts who have a couple of pot shots through Moussa Sissoko, but neither effort is troubling Angus Gunn.

    There's no quality really and no control - but you can expect that given what's at stake in this game. At some point, they need the midfieders to get a grip on it.

    Watford starting to exert a bit more pressure, earning another corner from Brandon Williams' block on Joshua King.

    But Brazilian forward Joao Pedro heads over from the resulting set-piece.

    Nope, Jacob Sorensen's night is done, he cannot continue.

    On comes Scotland international Kenny McLean in his place.

    Awful delivery and Norwich head clear at the near post.

    Watford earn the first corner of the evening after Tom Cleverley's strike deflects towards the byeline and Canaries keeper Angus Gunn is unable to stop it from drifting out of play.

    Meanwhile, on-loan Manchester United full-back Brandon Williams is getting a stern telling off from referee Mike Dean for a late challenge on Emmanuel Dennis.

    Williams lucky not to get a yellow card there.

    Well, Norwich were readying is a change but it looks like they are going to give Jacob Sorensen a few more minutes.

    Jacob Sorensen might be done here.

    Having said that, new man Hassane Kamara swings in a delightful cross from the left, deep to the far post where Emmanuel Dennis leaps over Brandon Williams but is adjudged to do so illegally.

    Not seen anything of Watford in the final third, Joshua King and Emmanuel Dennis are lacking service.

    Meanwhile, Norwich midfielder Jacob Sorensen is down on the deck needing some treatment from the physio.

    It looks like a problem with his left knee, can he run it off?

    You can't be giving the ball away in key areas! It was good play from Joshua Sargent. Milot Rashica tries to bend it in and you can see what he was trying to do. He just didn't get the accuracy on it.

    Wasn't too far away.

    Watford captain Moussa Sissoko initially does well deep in his own half, dispossessing Josh Sargant, but then a loose pass allows Milot Rachica to let fly with a first-time strike which sails just over the crossbar.

    10 minutes in but neither goalkeeper has had their palms stung yet.

    They'll be hoping a few shots are fired in to keep warm on this cold Friday evening down south.

    Samir, the defender with the least sounding Brazilian name ever, looks a rugged centre-half and has already put in a couple of meaty challenges.

    Another set-piece opportunity for Dean Smith's men.

    Milot Rachica swings it in but skipper Grant Hanley is penalised for a push.

    It's spicy already. You can see both teams are up for this. Dean Smith said he was wary of the counter-attack from Watford. Norwich have had an opportunity from a set-piece too. It's been really energetic.

    Just getting a message in from the International Space Station.

    They're telling me they can see Norwich have started well.

    Tonight's referee is Mike Dean.

    That's it, that's the tweet.
