    FT: Watford 1-2 Burnley!! All over at Vicarage Road and Burnley claim three vital points here! Watford started well and took the lead through a Tarkowski own goal, but Burnley fought back well in the second period and Cork and Brownhill netted in the final eight minutes to give them victory. A draw would've been fairer, but Burnley took their chances. Watford are now practically relegated. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

  • 48'
    Tarkowski brings down Dennis with his hands and he is cautioned as that was cynical.
  • 47'
    Collins! The Burnley man goes for the chip and Foster catches.
  • 47'
    Lennon nearly scores!! He dribbles into the area and tries to beat Foster to his left, but the GK makes a terrific save!
  • 46'
    Watford get us going once again!
  • 45'
    HT: Watford 1-0 Burnley!! Half-time at Vicarage Road and the Hornets deservedly lead thanks to Tarkowski's 8th minute own goal when Kucka's shot struck the bar and hit the unfortunate Tarkowski on the leg. The home side have had more chances, but Burnley have also been a threat and thought they had a penalty, but the VAR said it was just outside the box. Back shortly!
  • 45'
    45+1: Louza's effort is punched away by Pope.
  • 45'
    One added minute.
  • 45'
    Collins is adjudged to have fouled Dennis just to the side of the box and the free-kick is awarded. Let's say that the Burnley feels he dived and I think he had a case.
  • 44'
    Dennis goes down in the Burnley penalty area, but the tackle was clean, in the eyes of the referee.
  • 42'
    Vydra!! The Burnley man goes for goal and it goes narrowly wide!
  • 41'
    Watford are fairly comfortable here, to be honest, but they are not going as hard in attack now.
  • 38'
    Burnley have an effort which misses the target.
  • 35'
    Huge appeals for a handball against Tarkowski by the hosts, but Pawson isn't interested! Not for me as the Burnley man was sliding in to make the tackle. I think that's a good decision. It's a corner, by the way..
  • 34'
    Watford goes for goal and it goes wide.
  • 32'
    Opportunity for Dennis as he looks to beat the GK at the near post and it is well saved for a corner! The ball actually took a deflection.
  • 29'
    The free-kick strikes the wall.

  • 24'
    Femenia strikes the post straight from a corner!!! The inswinger comes in and hits the near post!!
  • 24'
    Another corner for the home side. Watford are much better, but Burnley are now having the odd dangerous attack.
  • 20'
    Weghorst's shot is deflected wide for a corner, seconds after a dangerous ball in nearly leads to a goal.

    What a howler by Collins at the back as he tries to clear the ball! J Pedro gets possession, but it comes to nothing.
  • 17'
    Kamara is penalised for a high tackle on McNeil.
  • 16'
    Brownhill!!! First chance for the Clarets as the free-kick is headed back by Weghorst to Brownhill and his effort goes wide of the goal.
  • 14'
    Almost 2-0!!! A long punt forward by Foster finds J Pedro in the box and he hits over!
  • 13'
    Kucka!!!! The Hornets attack again through J Pedro and Dennis, he gives to Kucka in the area and the shot is deflected over by Tarkowski.
  • 12'
    Burnley are yet to get going in this one.

    Kucka scores for Watford, but I think it's actually an own goal by Tarkowski!! Femenia's ball into the box finds Kucka at the back stick, his shot strikes the crossbar and the ball then hits Tarkowski on the leg and goes in! It will be an own goal.

    Watford go forward and win themselves a corner.
  • 4'
    Kucka fouls Brownhill and the visitors have a goal kick.

    Burnley beat Wolves 1-0 in their last game and there is just one alteration as Weghorst comes in for Vydra.
  • PRVW
    Watford were beaten 5-1 by Man City in their last fixture. Ngakia, Cleverley (ill) and King are replaced by Femenia, Kucka and J Pedro.
  • PRVW
    It's 17 degrees and sunny in London for this one.
  • PRVW
    19th v 17th. 22pts v 31pts. There are five games remaining and the hosts are effectively relegated with defeat here, but in all honesty, anything other than three points will see with almost no chance of survival. The Clarets, sit two points above Everton, but the Toffees have a game in hand so this is a huge match.

    Craig Pawson is the referee while Stuart Attwell is the VAR.
