The Baggies are throwing players forward now in search of an equaliser, another Brunt corner coming into the area... Another superb catch by Karnezis, this time at the far post. Time is running out for the visitors.
90'
There will be a minimum of four minutes of added time played here.
88'
West Brom with a corner late on here... Brunt's ball is far too close to the keeper, who makes a comfortable catch and winds down the clock even more. Not long left, can they salvage anything?

81'
J. McClean enters the game and replaces G. Krychowiak.
West Brom make their first change of the afternoon, with Grzegorz Krychowiak making way for James McClean.
80'
West Brom have it all to do here if they are to get anything from this game, they have been second best in the second half and haven't taken their chances when they managed to create them. Defeat will keep the Baggies seven points from safety with nine games remaining.
77'
T. Deeney has scored a goal for Watford! Assist by W. Hughes.
It was great vision by Hughes to spot Deeney in so much space, the ball was perfectly placed and allowed Deeney to run through on goal, making no mistakes with the difficult finish.
GOOOAAALLL! WATFORD LEAD! Deeney with a terrific finish after beating the offside trap just inside the Baggies half. Poor defending from West Brom, with Evans stepping up at the last second to try and catch Deeney offside after the ball through by Hughes, but he timed his run perfectly. The striker then raced through on goal, only had Foster to beat and he chipped the ball over the keeper and into the back of the net.

Description
75'
OFF THE LINE! A huge chance for Okaka to score for Watford! The hosts had a corner, the ball bounced around the area and eventually fell to the feet of Okaka who turned and fired a low shot at goal, it had Foster beaten, but luckily Gibbs had gone back onto the line and he cleared it off the line! Superb defending.
72'
A. Mariappa gets yellow.
Mariappa is shown a yellow card for a blatant foul on Rondon, the striker got on the wrong side of the defender and was heading towards goal, so Mariappa pulled him down to prevent a Baggies chance to score.
70'
CHANCE! Phillips whipped a terrific ball into the box, with Rodriguez looked to be getting his head on at the front post. However, it was great defending from Janmaat to get there just in front of the striker and divert the ball out for a corner. That looked an almost certain goal.
68'
The pace and quality has dropped in the last few minutes, with sloppy passes from both teams in midfield and very few chances for either team.
66'
W. Hughes enters the game and replaces A. Carrillo.
Here comes the second Watford change of the afternoon, Carrillo walks off the pitch and his replacement is Will Hughes. The midfielder was enjoying a good run of form, before picking up an injury which has kept him sidelined since late November.
64'
The Baggies are struggling to get out of their own half at the moment, with Watford really starting to put the pressure on now. The home crowd is really getting involved and pushing their side forward. A victory today would move them onto 36 points and should see them out of the relegation battle.
61'
Still no goals here as we go past the hour mark. The tempo has certainly increased in this second half, with Watford looking the stronger side at the moment, playing quick football and they are starting to cause West Brom problems at the back.
59'
It looks like Watford have changed into a 4-4-2 formation now that Okaka has come onto the pitch, he has gone straight up top alongside Deeney.
57'
STAT: West Brom have won just three times in 37 league matches dating back to March last year. Furthermore, they have not scored more than one goal in a Premier League away match all season.
54'
S. Okaka enters the game and replaces Richarlison.
Watford make their first substitution of the game, with Richarlison the man coming off and his replacement is Stefano Okaka.
53'
WATFORD CHANCE! The hosts break forward on the counter-attack, with the ball falling to Richarlison who tries an acrobatic overhead strike at goal, but it flew just inches wide of the Baggies goal. Much better from both teams here.
52'
OFF THE POST! Another chance for West Brom from a corner, which Evans meets almost on the byline and from a tight angle he tries to score, but it strikes the post and bounces clear.
50'
WEST BROM CHANCE! Rondon breaks free down the left, it was a good ball between the Watford defenders by Rodriguez and the striker broke free with just the keeper to beat. However, Rondon fires a low shot towards the near post, and Karnezis makes good save. Rondon should've fired that across goal, looking for the far post.
48'
Watford have got the ball forward a couple of times already in this second half, they are trying to play more attacking football, with more pace here to stretch the Baggies defence. Richarlison skips past two challenges on the edge of the box, but runs into Brunt and the ball is cleared. The Watford man goes down in pain after the challenge, but he looks fine to continue.
46'
The second half is underway!
45' +2
That's the half-time whistle!
45'
There will be a minimum of two minutes added time played here.
43'
Can either side produce a moment of quality here just before the break and open the scoring? There is just a couple of minutes remaining before the half-time whistle.
42'
STAT: No side have used more players than the 29 who have featured for Watford in the Premier League this season.
39'
CLOSE! Prodl should've scored from the resulting corner! The centre-back met the ball superbly and powered a header at goal, but he to get too much on it, as it flies just inches over the crossbar. Two very good chances for the hosts.
38'
GREAT CHANCE! Janmaat with a superb opportunity to open the scoring for his side. Watford broke forward quickly and caught West Brom off guard, with Pereyra laying the ball off to Janmaat just inside the penalty area, his sidefooted low shot looked to be heading into the back of the net. However, Ben Foster got down quickly to make a terrific save.
36'
Rodriguez does well down the left-wing to win a corner for his side. The Baggies have been lethal at corners this season, with plenty of goals coming from Chris Brunt deliveries. Dawson gets his head to the set piece, but he can't direct it on target and it goes well wide.
33'
More than half an hour played here at Vicarage Road and it remains goalless with neither team really threatening to score at the moment. West Brom have had to try and come from behind to win in recent weeks, so a Baggies opening goal could be crucial to their hopes of taking three points back to the Hawthorns today.
30'
Good pressure from Watford here, they have the Baggies penned inside their own half at the moment, however they are struggling to create anything in the final third with the visitors defence blocking every effort and putting pressure on every pass.
28'
STAT: The Baggies have lost 3-0 in their last two Premier League away games - they've not lost three successive top-flight away games by such a margin since September 1985.
25'
É. Capoue gets yellow.
Capoue is shown the first yellow card of the game, after a high foot on Krychowiak. The Baggies midfielder just got to the ball first and nicked it away from the Watford man, before the challenge came in.
24'
After the early chances for both teams here, neither side has been able to create an opportunity in the last few minutes, with the majority of the ball being in the middle of the pitch and plenty of long balls.
22'
West Brom are doing a good job of putting pressure on the Watford midfield and defence when they have the ball, with the middle of the pitch being well controlled by the Baggies. The likes of Pereyra and Capoue are struggling to get on the ball, which is frustrating the home crowd.
19'
Deeney gives away a cheap free-kick inside his own half, handing West Brom a good set piece opportunity, with all the big men from the back making their way forward. Brunt whips it into the area, but Watford eventually clear the ball after it bounced dangerously around the 18 yard box.
17'
CLOSE! Watford win a corner, it is whipped at pace into the box and Mariappa meets it at the near post, nodding it across goal, but West Brom manage to clear it off the line before it nestles in the far corner. Poor defending there by the Baggies, to allow the Watford centre-back time and space to get his head on the ball from the set piece.
15'
The game is very scrappy at the moment, with a few sloppy passes in midfield which isn't allowing either side to build significant attacks. Quite a few long balls forward from both teams, up to their big men in attack.
13'
Neither side are controlling the game just yet, possession is switching between the two sides in the middle of the pitch. West Brom have looked the better side in attack, with Phillips getting plenty of touches down the right-wing, looking to whip balls into the box to Rondon and Rodriguez.
11'
STAT: Watford are looking to win three successive Premier League home games for the first time since April 2017 - one of those matches was against West Brom.
8'
WATFORD CHANCE! Now it's the turn of the Hornets to go close to opening the scoring here! Watford played a long ball up top, which Deeney holds up well. It then gets laid off to Pereyra, who fires a shot at goal, but it is blocked well by Gibbs and out for a corner. The resulting corner comes to nothing.
7'
Head-to-head: Watford have lost only one of the five Premier League meetings, keeping a clean sheet in both previous home games. West Brom's last win at Vicarage Road came in a Championship game in November 2007.
4'
CHANCE! The Baggies with the first opportunity of the game and it fell to Krychowiak just inside the area. The ball was swung into the area from the left-wing by Rodriguez, it was poorly headed away by Watford with Holebas's header falling straight to the feet of Krychowiak, who took a touch and then fired a powerful effort at goal. However, Mariappa did brilliantly to rush out and block the effort. That looked to be heading into the back of the net.
2'
We already have a stoppage here as Capoue is down injured after a minor collision with Dawson. This looks a worry for the Watford man so early on in the game.
1'
We're underway!
