That long injury break hasn't done a lot for the flow of this game.

The home fans are making their displeasure at how long Hull are taking over throw ins be known.

Greg Docherty comes on for the stricken Dimitrios Pelkas for Hull.

We're going to have Qatar levels of time added on at the end of this first half.

We're going to need some subs here.

Both players have tried to give it a go but Dimitrios Pelkas of Hull has already put his hand up to say he needs to go off.

All taking a bit too long this really.

This doesn't look good.

A 50-50 between Dimitrios Pelkas of Hull and Watford midfielder Hamza Choudhury has left both of them on the ground needing treatment.

Energetic start from both teams.

Not a surprise given the conditions, it's currently below freezing in Watford!

We're under way.

Watford boss Slaven Bilic has made five changes from the XI that started the 0-0 draw against Bristol City in their last match. Brazilian forward Joao Pedro is among those back in, while Tim Dele-Bashiru comes in for his first start this season.

Hull City give starts to Sean McLoughlin and Tyler Smith as they look to bounce back from their 2-1 home reverse by Reading in their last match before the World Cup hiatus.

Now that the action is wrapped up on Burnley's comprehensive win at Loftus Road we're turning our attentions 21.5 miles (according to Google) up the road to Vicarage Road and over to my colleague Ian Woodcock.

Watford have struggled for consistency so far this season but a win today would take them up to third in the table.

Opponents Hull City are one point and one place above the relegation zone

An excellent display from Burnley. The result was never in doubt from the moment they went in front.

A fifth defeat in six games for QPR.

We are into three minutes of stoppage time.

A month off and Burnley have picked up exactly where they left off.

They are moving three points clear of Sheffield United and eight points clear of third spot.

More than anything, QPR need a manager.

Game management time for Burnley.

Here come Scott Twine, Charlie Taylor and Darko Churlinov.

Off go Nathan Tella, Ian Maatsen and Jack Cork.

Josh Brownhill with a great chance to make it four as the QPR defence is carved open.

But the midfielder steers it straight at Seny Dieng.

Then at the other end, Albert Adomah is just short of reaching a dangerous ball at the back post.

Here comes the destroyer of Blackburn, Ashley Barnes. Jay Rodriguez makes way.

Those two goals against the old rivals have Burnley fans in good voice!

Another situation for QPR as a cross ricochets off Jordan Beyer and falls for Kenneth Paal.

The angle is tight and Paal can't get over his shot and the effort is wasted.

A half chance for Lyndon Dykes to reduce the deficit.

Ethan Laird's initial effort is mis-hit but falls for the big Scotland striker yet his shot can't generate enough power to really trouble Aro Muric.

Another alteration for QPR as Sinclair Armstrong enters the fray.

Andre Dozzell makes way.

Now it is time for Burnley's first change as Manuel Benson replaces Johann Berg Gudmundsson.

The Icelander's free-kick set the Clarets on their way remember.

This half is proving to be much more of an even contest but Burnley still hold that two-goal cushion.

QPR may wish they had been more proactive in that first half.

Sam Field thinks he has pulled one back for QPR but for Aro Muric.

The ball drops in the dee for Field to run onto and he catches it perfectly. It takes a little nick and almost hits Muric before he knows anything about it.

Either side of the Kosovo goalkeeper and that was in the net.
