To give a bit of a visual nod to that fight, Donny van de Beek now has a bloodied tissue up his nose following a clash with a Leeds player in midfield.

Watford haven't actually won a game since Ismaila Sarr's last apperance for the club, the 4-1 win over Manchester United in November.

It's like a different Watford in this half. That's what two subs can do. Home fans whistle as Robert Sanchez takes his time to clear after catching Kiko Femenia's cross.

Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis gets booked for his umpteenth foul. Fantasy football players curse the Nigerian again.

Zaha almost does fashion something with a jinking run and low cross into the box, but a Brentford defender gets a boot in to clear ahead of Jordan Ayew.

Ismaila Sarr is giving Watford a lot more fizz already. He intercepts a Robert Sanchez kick-out and the noise levels go up. It's a much more attacking home display.

Emmanuel Dennis can't get an early shot in from a cross and Brighton crowd him out.

Wilfried Zaha had Patrick Vieira in his ear just before this half started, getting a talking to about what was expected. He wasn't really in the game first half. Can he make the difference in the second?

Kiko Femenia powers a cross in which is headed behind for a Watford corner, but that comes to nothing.

In the first half, Raphinha was defending a lot. Gordon was pushing him back, so they've tried to make the change, putting Dan James on the right.

Leeds look to get themselves back in this early in this half, but after Jack Harrison's cross falls to Dan James at the back post, his cut back only precedes a shot that flies high and wide.

Ismaila Sarr will be crucial to Watford's surival hopes. He goes on a good run down the right and cuts inside but the move breaks down and Emmanuel Dennis commits a foul to stop a Brighton break.

Leeds make changes at the break, which is hardly surprising. Adam Forshaw is on to provide some midfield presence. Tyler Roberts and Adam Forshaw are on for Raphinha and Mateusz Klich.

Raphinha off is a bit of a shock.

That's all three Leeds changes made.

The first thing Ismaila Sarr does is fail to keep the ball in.

Juraj Kucka and Edo Kayembe were the players replaced.

Watford bring on Ismaila Sarr and Imran Louza at the break.

There is a huge cheer for Sarr, who won the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal on Sunday, and has not played for the Hornets since November.

We go again.
