Hello and welcome to our LIVE text commentary of Swansea's Premier League clash with Watford from the Liberty Stadium. The big news in South Wales this afternoon was the announcement that Francesco Guidolin will come in to work alongside Alan Curtis as the Swans' new head coach. He watches from the stands tonight. Will he be impressed by what he sees? Or will Watford's deadly duo of Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney reek havoc once more?

Troy Deeney went mightily close to equalising at the death, but Swansea hold on for a vital three points which moves them out of the bottom three. Ashley William's first-half header was enough for the Swans, with Alan Curtis's last match in sole charge ending in victory. Watford came into it after the break, but they offered very little going forward, and they will have to improve quickly if they are going to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle. Thanks for joining us. Full report and reaction to follow on site. Goodnight!

FT: Swansea 1-0 Watford.

WOODWORK! Brilliant from Gomis as he twists and turns in the box, fires at goal but sees his effort thunder against the post.

Three added minutes here. Attack v defence as Watford throw everything at Swansea.

CHANCE! Best of the match for Watford. Taylor gets his clearing header all wrong, diverting the ball straight into the path of Jurado, who volleys just wide, with Fabianski beaten.

Another change, Obbi Oulare comes on in place of Behrami for Watford. Premier League debut for the youngster.

Final change for Swansea as Ki is replaced by Jordi Amat as Curtis tries to make sure of the points.

Jurado again with the effort at goal, but again it is straight at Fabianski. Referee waves away strong Watford appeals for penalty as Williams and Ighalo wrestle in the box.

And again! Gomis is trying to stretch the play, but he needs to look along the line!

Gomis already offside. Kind of has a knack for that...

Bafetimbi Gomis is coming on for Swansea in place of top scorer Ayew.

Watson again wastes a free-kick in a dangerous position, firing straight into the bottom of the wall.

Britton surges forward, but his one-two with Ki is well read by Cathcart and cut out.

Ake is very lucky to escape caution for completely wiping out Ayew on the run.

Williams is an absolute rock at the back for the hosts. Twice the skipper gets up highest to head clear.

Yes...

Nyom is the man to make way for Watford, with Juan Carlos Paredes coming on.

This man's header still separates these two, but Watford looking much more threatening. Can the Swans hold on?

Sigurdsson again involved as he does well to get to the byline, pull it back for Barrow, whose shot is charged down by Watson.

Gylfi Sigurdsson whips a free-kick into the box, but Watford get it clear. Better delivery from the Icelandic midfielder.
