23'

First booking of the match for Jose Jurado for a late lunge on Routledge.

21'

CHANCE! Brilliant persistence from Deeney to get to the byline, he whips a fantastic onto the head of his partner Ighalo, but the Nigerian cannot get enough on it and the ball flashes wide.

19'

Britton plays a lovely one-two with Ayew, but he just overruns it, and Gomes is out quickly to smother at his feet.

18'

Still all Swansea. Watford haven't really been troubled at the back, but they seeing very little of the ball.

Poor from the visitors.

16'

Deeney and Ighalo link up for the first time, but Neil Taylor is across to intercept. A better touch from Ighalo and he was through on goal.

15'

Couple of Swansea corners are wasted, but they remain dominant here is South Wales.

Not looking his usual threatening self.

13'

Routledge gets in over the top, hooks the ball back into a dangerous area really well, but Ayew is slow to react and the danger is cleared.

12'

Again, Swansea go long, but Andre Ayew, as good as he is, is not going to win those.

11'

One potential problem for Swansea is that they don't really have any aerial threat in the box. They have put a few balls in that have been dealt with quite comfortably and on a couple of occasions have looked reluctant to cross.

Ki Sung-Yueng is the man offside in a dangerous position again. Swansea moving the ball well.

Burn!

Watford finally getting on the ball, but they cannot get it into the feet of their front two. Routledge breaking well for the Swans, at pace.

Watford have won all three top flight matches against Swansea, but they will have to keep the ball better than they are at the moment to maintain that run.

First shot at goal comes from the Swans, but Jack Cork's lofted strike is not going to trouble Heurelho Gomes in the Watford goal.

Routledge is put through the middle, but it is ruled out for offside. Great run inside to find the space, but just went too early, Correct decision.

Early possession for the hosts. Leon Britton dropping deep and spraying the ball around with consummate ease.

We are underway in South Wales for the final game of the weekend. Watford won the first time these two sides met, can they make it a double?

19:55

Swansea haven't had quite the same success. Garry Monk was dismissed after a poor run of results, but club legend Alan Curtis has not improved matters, with the South Welshmen languishing in the bottom three - hence today's appointment!

19:52

Where would the Hornets be without Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo? Quique Sanchez Flores has exceeded all expectations so far in charge at Vicarage Road, guiding his side to 29 points already. However, the Spaniard owes a great deal to his front two, with Ighalo involved in 60% of his side's goals, and Deeney 44% - quite a return. Who said 4-4-2 was a thing of the past?
