With just the one EFL match on the agenda today, that's all from us this afternoon.

Thanks for joining us again this weekend. We'll be back on Tuesday night with part one of a bumper midweek set of fixtures across the Championship.

Catch you then.

Plenty for Alex Neil to ponder after what turned into a bad day at the office for his Stoke side.

That was their heaviest defeat since January 2020 and means the team stay in 17th place just two points above the bottom three.

As well as being the first win of Slaven Bilic's tenure, that victory was also Watford's first on the road since March and their first win with a clean sheet in nine matches.

The Hornets move up to seventh in the Championship table, one point off the play-off places.

A dream start to life at Watford for Slaven Bilic whose side produced a full-on thrashing of Stoke in the end.

Ismaila Sarr gave the visitors an early lead, before a trio of second-half goals from Ken Sema, Keinan Davis and Vakoun Bayo saw the Hornets race away with the win and all three points.

We've got three minutes of added time to go although I think quite a few of the Stoke fans have already started to make their exit.

Not an afternoon to remember for Alex Neil's side.

Frustration creeping into Stoke now you feel, as Ben Wilmot gives a free-kick away on the edge of the box.

It puts pressure on keeper Josef Bursik again but he jumps up to clear the ball well.

Double change for Watford as goalscorers Keinan Davis and Ken Sema go off, with Dan Gosling and Joseph Hungbo coming on.

David Ljunggren: Absolutely abject by Stoke. Bilic could not have asked for more accommodating opponents

There won't be any more goals today for Ismaila Sarr who is taken off with Vakoun Bayo coming on.

Eeesh that was almost 4-0 and Stoke really are falling apart now.

Aden Flint sloppily loses the ball and it ends up crossed in front of goal straight to Imran Louza, who somehow drags his shot inches wide of the post.

Second change for Stoke as Alex Neil tries to ignite something in his team with 15 minutes to go.

Dujon Sterling goes off as Harry Clarke comes on.

Corner to Watford but this one doesn't worry Josef Bursik all that much as Keinan Davis sends a header beyond the post.

First change for Stoke and it's up front as Dwight Gayle makes way for Tyrese Campbell.

Will Smallbone has a good chance to pull one back for Stoke with a shot from the edge of the box and he should be getting his shot on target at the very least, but it goes high over the bar.

Not a good challenge from Francisco Sierralta who gets a yellow card for bringing down Liam Delap.

That was Ken Sema's second goal of the season after he scored in the home defeat by QPR at the end of August.

And it's a goal that should seal the points for Watford.

Keinan Davis combines with Hassane Kamara down the left and gets a cross away into the box, but Josef Bursik jumps up to collect it.

Watford still look the more dangerous threat when they press forward.
