Good afternoon and welcome to our live text commentary for today's Premier League game between Watford and Swansea City at Vicarage Road.
Watford were rolled over last week by a Tottenham side in impressive form. The Hornets sit in 10th place, three points adrift of that all important 40 point mark. They recorded back to back wins prior to that defeat however, and a win here today against a struggling Swansea will more than likely secure their status in the top flight for another season.
Swansea City will need a huge improvement from their performance last weekend if they are to survive relegation. Paul Clement's side were toothless against West Ham in a game of few chances and never truly looked like causing the Hammers any real trouble at the back.
The Swans have picked up only one point in their past five premier league games, and with tough fixtures ahead against the likes of Manchester United and Everton, they can not afford to lose today.
With just over 10 minutes to go until kick-off, let's look at how the teams will line up...
Swansea City XI: Fabianski, Naughton, Fernandez, Mawson, Olsson; Fer, Ki Sung-yueng, Fulton, Narsingh, Sigurdsson; Llorente.
Swansea City substitutes: Ayew, van der Hoorn, Bastón, Nordfeldt, Routledge, Kingsley, Carroll.
The teams are making their way out onto the pitch. We are a few minutes away from kick-off.
There was nothing to really seperate the two sides but Mawson's absolute gift of a goal leaves it all to do for Paul Clement's side at the break. Both sides creating little with a lot of poor passes going astray for both sides. As things stand, Swansea will remain two points adrift of safety with games running out.
The teams are back out onto the pitch. The second-half is about to get under way.
HALF-TIME: WATFORD 1-0 SWANSEA CITY
FULL-TIME: WATFORD 1-0 SWANSEA CITY
A disappointing game with neither team creating much. Sigurdsson came closest for the Swans with his header late on but in the end, it was Capoue capitalising on Mawson's error that decided the game. Paul Clement's side looked to apply more pressure after the break and took charge of the game but in the end they were unable to create any meaningful chances and have now scored only one goal in their previous five games. Watford, meanwhile, have reached their 40 point tally with a victory that has pretty more assured their Premier League status for another season.
