Blocked! Brentford have looked very dangerous at corners and again the delivery from Eriksen is good, with Mbeumo meeting it at the far post, he lays it back to Wissa. However, his strike is blocked and goes out for another corner.

The home supporters are getting impatient with their sides performance, as they aren't showing any signs of scoring an equaliser any time soon. They haven't seen their side pick up any points at home since November.

This is a bit better from Watford, keeping the ball well in the Brentford half and they've increased the intensity of their passes, but are still yet to test Raya.

Eriksen is causing all sorts of problems today, he once again picks up the ball in the final third and is allowed time to fire a shot at goal, but it's too close to Foster, who makes a good save.
