- 0' That's the starting whistle at Vicarage Road Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Watford FC and Burnley FC.
- 5' A quiet spell here at Vicarage Road Stadium. Burnley FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 10' 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 Jack Cork suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' England international Ashley Barnes has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 20' Burnley FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 25' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Andre Gray.
- 30' Benjamin Mee has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 30.
- 35' Watford FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 40' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 45' The referee calls foul for James Tarkowski. He receives a Yellow card.

- 56' Troy Deeney is ready to make an impact after coming on for Andre Gray at the 56 minute mark.

- 65' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gerard Deulofeu made 364 appearances and scored 35 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 67' A change in the Watford FC ranks — Will Hughes exits the field as Ismaila Sarr enters on 67.
- 72' Watford FC have won 398 goals from 364 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

- 87' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
