- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at London Stadium!
- 5' Craig Dawson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 2 cards already picked up this season.
- 6' Michail Antonio has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 6 minutes.
- 9' Watford FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 10' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Tomas Soucek makes it 2-0.
- 15' 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 Will Hughes suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' It looks surprising West Ham United FC does not make any changes. Jarrod Bowen has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Nigel Pearson will be considering his options from the bench.
- 30' Watford FC is showing some good football. However, Watford FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 35' Will Hughes catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 35.
- 36' GOAL! Declan Rice scores on 36.
- 41' Supporters expect more eagerness from Femenia Far, as he is very good at scoring at London Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 46' Adrian Mariappa is ready to make an impact after coming on for Adam Masina at the 46 minute mark.
- 49' The deadlock is broken! Troy Deeney gets on the scoresheet on 49 minutes.
- 54' 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.
- 59' Watford FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 64' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 67' The supporters are chanting for Andre Gray. He replaces Troy Deeney on 67 minute.
- 72' It is a substitution in West Ham United FC team. Pablo Fornals is replaced by Sebastien Haller on 72 minute.
- 77' The travelling Watford FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
