    Burnley players are trying to get off the pitch.

    Burnley 0-0 Watford

    Watford have had the better chances but it's still all to play for. Both sides will remain in the bottom three as it stands.

    The visitors are fuming and still want a penalty.

  3. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 45+1 mins

    Burnley 0-0 Watford

    A few appeals from Watford because they think Connor Roberts has handballed it in the box after Ken Sema attempted to flick it back in.

  4. YELLOW CARDpublished at 45+1 mins

    Burnley 0-0 Watford

    A booking for Dale Stephens, who slaps Joao Pedro in the face as they go up for a header.

    Burnley 0-0 Watford

    Watford are definitely finishing the half on top.

    Juraj Kucka has a pop from long range. It's always going wide but he fancied himself.

    Burnley cannot keep giving the ball away under no pressure.

    They were fortunate to escape at that Watford corner. Eventually they will pay a price unless they sharpen up their passing.

    If the atmosphere at Turf Moor gets any livelier a funeral might break out.

    Ben Mee didn't know much about that but he can thank James Tarkowski, who replays show was the one with the crucial goal-saving clearance.

    How has this not gone in?

    Ben Mee might have touched it on with his knee off Joao Pedro's flick-on and it's smashed off the goalline by a Burnley defender.

    Burnley threaten a dangerous break but Maxwel Cornet's touch lets him down outside the box as the hosts pile players forward. They quickly get back in shape as Watford build an attack down the left.

    Dale Stephens gives it away in midfield. Watford switch it from right to left but Nick Pope can easily gather in Hassane Kamara's deep cross.

    Samir sends one long for Joao Pedro to chase but it rolls straight out for a goal kick. Roy Hodgson immediately gestures some instructions on the touchline.

    "Don't hoof it straight out!"

    Aaron Lennon skips past a challenge in the middle and plays in Maxwel Cornet. He continues his run into the box but Cornet's return pass is just too heavy.

    Wasted corner. But as Stoney says, Watford have definitely picked up the intensity. Joao Pedro and Josh King have combined a few times now.

    Burnley started this game well but Watford at the team starting to get on top.

    The visitors are dominating the midfield areas, which is pushing Burnley back towards their own goal.

    The hosts need to hold firm here.

    Kiko Femenia curls it in... Over Ken Sema's head.

    Hassane Kamara keeps it alive and wins a corner on the left.

  19. CLOSE!published at 28 mins

    Burnley 0-0 Watford

    Josh King is a bit isolated and he runs straight into James Tarkowski. But Watford win it back in midfield, it's eventually pulled back across the six-yard area by Juraj Kucka and King is INCHES away from getting a touch on it!

    Aaron Lennon pokes it on to Maxwel Cornet... Again, cleared just in time and Samir can pump it long.
