Description
81'

79'
Watford are keeping the ball well at the minute as they try to play out from the back but their passes into the final third have been poor and Wolves have been able to shut them out so far.
77'
Diogo Jota has scored a goal for Wolverhampton Wanderers! Assist by Rúben Neves.
Neves was given a lot of space down the right wing and he picked out Jota at the far post brilliantly.
JOTA PUTS WOLVES AHEAD! The cross into the box picked out Jota in a lot of space on the right of the box and he side footed the ball into the back of the net to give Wolves the lead once again.

Watford are asking for a penalty again, but the referee waves away the claim. Hughes' strike from the edge of the box is hit well and it's going on target but Coady gets across to block it. It does hit his arm, but it's tight to his side and he's close to Hughes, so it would've been a harsh call.
71'
Watford are getting into some good positions high up the field, but their final ball into the box has let them down in the last few minutes.

The Mexican takes the ball into his path with a good first touch and tries to chip the ball over the keeper and into the back of the net, but he can only find the side netting with his shot. It wouldn't have counted if it had gone in though as he was flagged offside.
65'
Jota has drifted out to the left wing once again and he swings a very good cross into the box where Jimenez is waiting, but Cathcart gets there first and flicks the ball out of his path with an important header.

45' +1
Watford are pushing forward with a lot more urgency now as they try to find an equaliser at the end of the first half.

41'

32'
Watford have started moving the ball a bit quicker now and are using Deulofeu to get in behind the Wolves defenders. So far, there's been no other runners up with him though so he's struggled to cause Wolves any problems.
30'

26'
Once again, Watford are just slowing the pace of the game down again by keeping the ball in their own half as Wolves close down the space in midfield.
23'

Pereyra gets the game underway for Watford!
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League meeting between Watford and Wolves at Vicarage Road!
The two sides meet for the first time since the FA Cup semi-final which saw Watford come from 2-0 down in the final 11 minutes to win the match 3-2 in extra-time. Since that match, Wolves have won just one of their three matches (D1 L1), but that victory did come in their last outing when they beat Arsenal 3-1. Meanwhile, Watford have lost just one of their three games since that tie (W1 D1).
WATFORD STARTING XI (4-4-2): Ben Foster; Kiko Femenia, Adrian Mariappa, Craig Cathcart, Jose Holebas; Will Hughes, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Etienne Capoue, Roberto Pereyra; Gerard Deulofeu, Andre Gray.
WATFORD SUBS: Heurelho Gomes, Christian Kabasele, Adam Masina, Nathaniel Chalobah, Daryl Janmaat, Isaac Success, Ken Sema.
WOLVES STARTING XI (3-5-2): Rui Patricio, Ryan Bennett, Conor Coady, Willy Boly; Matt Doherty, Leander Dendoncker, Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho, Jonny Castro Otto; Raul Jimenez, Diogo Jota.
WOLVES SUBS: John Ruddy, Adama Traore, Morgan Gibbs-White, Romain Saiss, Ivan Cavaleiro, Helder Costa, Ruben Vinagre.
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
Wolves looked dangerous towards the end of the first half when they got into the final third and Jota and Jimenez caused the Watford defenders quite a few problems as well. If they carry on attacking the way they did, then they will be able to add to their tally. Watford have come very close to scoring as well, but they slowed the pace of the game down too often which meant that they didn't create too many chances. Deulofeu has looked dangerous for the home side though and if they can pick him out more, then they have a very good chance of getting on the score sheet.
Wolves stay in seventh after that win, but are now four points clear of their opponents. Nuno will be happy that his team are back to winning ways and he will want to continue that streak when they face Fulham next weekend. Watford drop to ninth in the Premier League table on goal difference after Everton's draw took them level on points with the Hornets. Gracia will be hoping that this loss is a one-off though as they continue their fight for seventh place as they turn their attention to their match against Chelsea.
