Vincent Kompany made just one change from the side that drew 1-1 with Luton Town last weekend at Turf Moor, as forward Manuel Benson replaced Jack Cork in the starting XI. Midfielder Josh Brownhill wore the armband for the visitors. First Half Watford were gifted an early opportunity with nine minutes played, as Ismaila Sarr intercepted Arijanet Muric’s pass out from the back, but Josh Cullen’s perfectly timed challenge took the ball away from the Hornets forward on the edge of the area and away from danger. There was not much to separate the two sides, with Burnley enjoying plenty of the ball but no real opportunities created, as we reached the drinks break goalless, midway through the first-half.

2) Benson was awful, don't want to knock a new player who maybe just had an off night, so I'll say no more.
