I think Man City may run away with the game now. Things don't seem to be falling for Watford.

Kompany makes a vital interception as Watford threaten to break.

There's a serious amount for Watford to do in the second half. The stats don't read well for them either.

The teams come back out onto the pitch as the second half is about to get underway.

SECOND HALF: Man City 2 - 0 Watford

City restart proceedings. Watford have it all to do but if they go all out attacking then City will rip through them and score more.

Watford press high up the pitch but don't get a shot off. Sterling turns sharply with the ball and City cut Watford open. Sterling gives it to Jesus who shoots but Gomes saves. 

The corner comes in, is headed away but City put the ball back into the box and Jesus heads it into the goal only to be caught offside.

A brilliant run from Deulofeu brings the ball forward and he gives it to Pereyra. Pereyra tries to give him the ball back but his pass is poor. Watford have started the second half really well.

Riyad Mahrez has had a good game, he's torn Holebas apart on the right wing but his match is over now as Kevin de Bruyne comes on. 

He makes an impact straight away whipping the ball into the box but Cathcart clears it behind for a corner.

The goal kick comes forward and Watford head the ball over the defence into Deulofeu who makes a good run. He hits it first time but sends it well wide of goal. 

David Silva loses the ball and sticks his arm out to bring down Hughes and gets booked for his effort.
