25 min: Time for a drinks break at both grounds.

28 min: Watford look for a response with Welbeck battling for the ball in the box. It comes to Hughes, whose looping shot is easily saved by Dubravka.

30 min: A half chance for Norwich's Hernandez, who's picked out by a fizzing low cross from Lewis. The former tries to flick it at goal but can't adjust his feet quickly enough.

32 min: Norwich win a free kick, from which Vrancic goes for goal. He curls his shot over the wall but can't generate the dip to keep it beneath the crossbar.

33 min: Close! It's Antonio and Bowen linking up for West Ham again. The former picks out the latter, who moves the ball onto his left foot and flashes a low shot just wide.

35 min: Chance! Newcastle almost have a second as Saint-Maximin races clear down the right. He drives into the box and tries to lift his finish over Foster. The goalkeeper makes himself big and pulls off what could be an important save.

36 min: Bowen is causing a lot of problems for Norwich. Again, he gets in behind on the right but his shot flies off target. Moments before, Pukki had the chance to play in Stiepermann but delayed his pass and lost out to Soucek (who did appear to foul him).

38 min: Noble sends a free kick to the back post and Soucek heads over the bar. At Vicarage Road, meanwhile, Newcastle look comfortable as half time approaches.

41 min: Good save! Soucek connects really well with a volley and Krul has to react quickly, tipping it over the bar at full stretch.

43 min: Some desperate defending from Newcastle as a Watford free kick drops for Dawson in the middle. His effort is blocked and then there's a scramble in the box, which eventually ends with a hacked clearance. There are a few signs that the home side might be coming to life.
