- 0' In just a few seconds Turf Moor will turn into a battlefield for Burnley FC and Watford FC.
- 5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Burnley FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 10' Craig Cathcart needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 15' Burnley FC have won 404 goals from 342 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 19' Controversy at the stadium! Joshua King argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 20' Controversy at the stadium! Joshua King argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 25' Watford FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ken Sema made 358 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Burnley FC that had 342 games and scored 404 goals.
- 40' It looks like no one’s ball. Burnley FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 45' Dale Stephens catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 45.
- 50' James Tarkowski is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Watford FC tonight.
- 55' It looks surprising Watford FC does not make any changes. Maxwel Cornet has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 60' It’s high time Roy Hodgson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 65' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 66' The crowd applauds Aaron Lennon as he leaves the pitch. Jay Rodriguez steps in for Burnley FC.
- 70' A change in the Watford FC ranks — Edo Kayembe exits the field as Tom Cleverley enters on 70.
- 75' Erik Pieters, a Netherlands , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 80' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Connor Roberts suffering a number of foals already.
- 83' Watford FC make a change. Joao Pedro trudges off to be replaced by Juan Hernandez on 83 minutes.
- 88' The 33-year-old Wout Weghorst has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 90' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Tom Cleverley.
- The points are shared — Burnley FC 0-0 Watford FC. Honours even.
