- 10' 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.
- 14' Tendayi Darikwa was booked on 14.
- 19' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 24' Edo Kayembe has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 35 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
