    Is this a game both sides have to win, or one that they must not lose?

    Will either gamble and really go for it? Or is protecting a point the priority?

    Hassane Kamara does really well on the left to win a corner under pressure from two Burnley defenders.

    He gets a big cheer from the visiting supporters (heroes for travelling in this weather by the way)!

    Samir tries to compete for the header in the middle but Ben Mee wins it. He almost thumps it into his own net (again!) but it drifts just past Dwight McNeil on the left post.

    Burnley then break, James Tarkowski carries it the length of the pitch and slips in Wout Weghorst but he slices it way over! That was a chance.

    Kiko Femenia cuts inside off the right and goes down under a challenge from Erik Pieters. Burnley players think it's a bit soft.

    Burnley 0-0 Watford

    Wout Weghorst wins a header and it's flying everywhere in the wind. Craig Cathcart's clearance comes back towards his own goal, Jay Rodriguez can't bring it down and a hat from the crowd blows onto the pitch.

    Joao Pedro has it on the left side of the box. It's a fairly tight angle but he fizzes a decent shot in. It won't test Nick Pope though as he picks it up pretty comfortably.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 65 mins

    Sean Dyche makes the first move. On comes Jay Rodriguez. Aaron Lennon is off.

    Juraj Kucka has all the space and time in the world. Kiko Femenia is to his right and there's options in the middle. He slices it into the stands.
