Watford vs Crystal Palace, FA Cup: Andre Gray the hero as Hornets secure Wembley trip

27 mins: Watford 1 - 0 Palace - Capoue

There's a substantial breeze at the ground and the crosses into the box are swirling like mad. Palace look a little panicked at the back as Watford take their third corner in a row, Holebas whips it in, Guaita palms it away to Cathcart who passes to Capoue. Capoue sticks his foot out and directs the ball into the back of the net. 

30 mins: Watford 1 - 0 Palace

Watford's relentless set piece pressure has broken the deadlock and given the home side a renewed confidence. Palace look rocked as they give away another free kick. This one on the halfway line.

33 mins: Watford 1 - 0 Palace

His team are only a goal down but Roy Hodgson looks demoralised. He's probably thinking 'not again' having lost both of his previous two FA Cup quarter-finals. I have no context for this but he seems like a glass half empty kind of character. 

36 mins: Watford 1 - 0 Palace

Milivojevic comes flying in late of Will Hughes and gets the first booking of the game. Gomes comes out to take the free kick and he hits it long but the wind takes it and it goes out of play. 

39 mins: Watford 1 - 0 Palace

Troy Deeney tricks McArthur into fouling him and Watford have a free kick about 30-yards out. Deulofeu strikes it over the wall and it dips aiming for the bottom corner of the near post but Guaita gets across and makes the save. 

42 mins: Watford 1 - 0 Palace

Townsend and Holebas challenge each other to get to a ball and Townsend stands on Holebas' foot. Holebas stays down and waits for treatment before limping off the pitch. 

Wan-Bissaka flicks a ball into Watford's box from the right and Meyer turns it towards goal but Gomes catches the ball. 

45 mins: Watford 1 - 0 Palace

2 minutes added time at the end of the first half. Watford are pressing up the pitch but Pereyra gets caught with the ball and Townsend breaks with it. Deulofeu tracks back quickly and makes the tackle to stop the attack. 

45+2 mins: Watford 1 - 0 Palace

It's been an interesting first 45 minutes. But teams have seen a decent amount of the ball and for the first 20 minutes or so things looked pretty even. Watford then put a ton of pressure on Palace through a series of set pieces in which Guaita looked all at sea. Capoue sent them ahead and Palace have yet to respond. 

Don't forget, after this match we'll be bringing you all the action from today's Premier League matches.

There are only three games today but they could have implications at the bottom of the table:

Bournemouth vs Newcastle

Burnley vs Leicester

West Ham vs Huddersfield

We'll bring you team news and build up following the conclusion of Watford vs Crystal Palace.

SECOND HALF: Watford 1 - 0 Palace

Holebas has been subbed off in place of Masina. Holebas took a knock in the first half and it seems to be a precaution from Javi Gracia to take him off.

Palace get the game back underway.
