Richarlison has scored a goal for Watford! Assist by J. Holebas.
Holebas whipped in a delightful ball there, but Richarlison had so much space to find the net with his header.
GOAL!!!! Richarlison snatches a point for Watford!!! He gets away from his marker from the free-kick and cushions his header into the corner to make it 2-2!!! What a contribution from the young Brazilian!
90' +4
J. McClean gets yellow.
A last forary forward for Watford results in Richarlison being scythed down again, this time by McClean who earns a well-deserved yellow card.
90' +3
CHANCE! Almost 3-1! McClean is denied by a desperate sliding challenge from Holebas when one-on-one with the keeper! His effort is deflected over for a corner.
90' +2
Deeney goes down after a collision in the box, but no penalty is given and there are no appeals from the Hornets captain.
90'
It's getting very end-to-end now, Watford are leaving themselves very open at the back, and Rodriguez is looking dangerous on the break.
88'
J. Evans gets yellow.
Evans picks up another yellow in quick succession.
87'
J. Livermore gets yellow.
Robson-Kanu wins another free-kick in a dangerous area, but the Baggies may just bide their time here and kill the game off. Gomes punches unconvincingly again, but it sets Watford off on the counter, before Livermore crudely brings Richarlison down to earn the game's first yellow card.
86'
A heavy touch from Gomes off a back-pass had one or two hearts in mouths, but he clears away to safety.
85'
West Brom are firmly camped inside their own half now. Watford have five minutes of regular time to break them down.
82'
Another good quality move breaks down as Pereyra overhits his return ball and it goes out for a goal kick. They just can't quite click into top gear today.
Minute
Description
79'
The game looks to have settled somewhat. Watford can't quite find a rhythm or a final pass in order to get that goal. A great move into the box breaks down and Richarlison stays down in the aftermath of what decsended into a scrappy affair..
77'
Robson-Kanu wins a foul on the right in Watford's half. Gibbs floats it in, but it's cleared away easily. The clearance falls kindly for West Brom though, and Hegazi nearly gets his head on the follow-up cross!
75'
A. Gray enters the game and replaces A. Carrillo.
Gray replaces Carrillo as Silva looks to inspire that equaliser.
Gomes can't hang on again from McClean's fizzed cross, and Mariappa is there to bail his keeper out and concede a corner.
73'
H. Robson-Kanu enters the game and replaces S. Rondón.
Robson-Kanu replaces the impressive Rondon, and nearly makes an instant impact! He links up well with McClean to wina corner follwoing some poor goalkeeping from Gomes.
71'
CHANCE! Doucoure surges down the left following a failed West Brom counter attack. He delivers a delicious cross to the back post for Richarlison, whose header flies just wide of the top corner! He was flagged up for offside anyway.
69'
Cleverley plays Holebas in well down the left, and he makes a good opening for himself, but his final cross is wild and goes out for a goal kick. No end product at all there from the full-back. So wasteful.
68'
Richarlison is penalised for grappling with Dawson in the corner. The Brazilian has looked strong and determined, and very much up to the demands of the Premier League.
67'
Gomes punches very unconvincingly clear from a cross into the box. West Brom could well grab a third if Gomes makes an error.
64'
CHANCE! A wonderful whipped ball from the corner almost finds Kabasele, but he and Hegazi are locked at the back post and he can't make contact with his header. Just a touch and he was certain to score!
63'
And the former Juventus man gets stuck in straight away, showing good, quick feet to get away from a marker and helping his side win a corner.
62'
R. Pereyra enters the game and replaces É. Capoue.
J. Livermore enters the game and replaces C. Brunt.
Livermore replaces Brunt as Pulis packs his midfield, with Rodriguez shifting out wide.
Pereyra comes on for Capoue as Silva looks to provide a spark to find an equaliser.
60'
Richarlison is fouled again, as Watford play through him once more. He's taking a battering out there, but he's still getting stuck in.
59'
Gomes is closed down quickly by Rondon and only just gets his clearance away. Tremendous work-rate from the frontman.
58'
J. McClean enters the game and replaces M. Phillips.
Phillips is replaced by McClean, having looked a little leggy in this second period.
57'
Gibbs sends Carrillo the wrong way with a lovely feint, before driving down the left and being fouled by Doucoure. He's been very bright in this second half particularly.
56'
Watford are really piling on the pressure now, as cross after cross goes into their box. Capoue hits another piledriver from outside the box, but Barry is there again to stop him!
55'
West Brom have swapped their wingers round at half time, with Phillips and Brunt switching flanks.
53'
CHANCE! Cleverley floats a cross in, which is headed out to Capoue. He blasts one from outside the box that's headed straight for the back of the net, but a nick off the ankle of Barry sends it wide! What a hit!
51'
Gibbs shifts through the gears and tries to slalom into the box. He drives all the way to the edge from the halfway line before being stopped in his tracks.
50'
Phillips gets the ball on the left as West Brom pile on pressure, but his shot is low and tame, and Gomes can gather.
49'
Gibbs does excellently to control a cross-field pass, driving into the box and winning a corner with his low cross. His chest control was immaculate there.
48'
Richarlison takes a knock from Brunt and he's down holding his back. He looks okay to continue though.
47'
Watford enjoy a really good spell of possession, before Rondon gets back well to win the ball and draw a foul from Mariappa. Really good work from the striker.
46'
We're back underway again as Watford kick off.
45' +2
Rondon turns and tries to run past his man, but he runs it straight out of play! Baggies fans will forgive him though, as he's produced a lively performance so far. Meanwhile, Dawson flattens Richarlison on the left. The resulting free-kick ends up in the hands of Foster, who clings on gratefully.
44'
A very loose pass goes straight to Rondon, but the striker's pass is, in turn, loose and he gives it straight back to Watford. They go up the other end with Richarlison, who curls one wide of the far post.
43'
Capoue dallies on the ball, and then fouls Gibbs, who had nicked it away from him. Brunt's delivery is far too strong and it sails out for a goal kick.
41'
Watford fire a succession of crosses into the box, and Richarlison just gets contact on one, but it sails over the crossbar.
40'
Holebas finds Cleverley in the centre, who lays it off for Capoue, who hits one from outside the box that deflects off of Evans for a corner.
37'
A. Doucouré has scored a goal for Watford! Assist by Richarlison.
Good awareness from the youngster to play Doucoure in, but the midfielder had a lot to do before finding the back of the net.
GOAL! Doucoure makes it 2-1! Deeney plays it into Richarlison in the middle, who feeds Doucoure down the left. He drives at his man, before firing a low, left-footed drive across the keeper and into the bottom left-corner! Great finish to get the Hornets back into this game!
35'
Watford are really pushing to halve the deficit now. Richarlison heads a cross back across goal this time, and wins a corner. It's dealt with easily though.
34'
CHANCE! Deeney does well to play Richarlison in, and the youngster cuts inside, but his effort at goal from inside the box is deflected. It falls straight into the path of the onrushing Carrillo though, who heads over with the goal gaping!
32'
CHANCE! Gomes gets under a cross under pressure from Barry, but it's just headed over and Watford survive. The Brazilian does look vulnerable from set-pieces, and West Brom will look to expose that weakness.
31'
CHANCE! Richarlison is found at the back post with a cross, but his header is tame towards the far post. Perhaps he should have tried to play a teammate in instead of going for goal.
30'
Watford begin to make inroads as they play the ball around, but there's no cutting edge and Gibbs makes a great interception and then clears away well.
28'
CHANCE! West Brom are nearly in again! Rodriguez gets beyond Rondon and is played in behind the defence, but he's under pressure and skies his effort over the bar. That was a very presentable opportunity for the Englishman.
27'
Capoue is down after a clash with Rondon, and is holding his face. There doesn't seem to be any malice or intent from the Venezuelan though, and Capoue looks okay to continue in any case.
26'
West Brom have hardly dominated possession, but they've done what they're good at well - attacking set pieces and hitting teams on the break with direct balls forward.
24'
West Brom really have the wind in their sails now, and Watford look a little shell-shocked.
21'
J. Evans has scored a goal for West Bromwich Albion!
GOAL!! West Brom double their lead! A good attacking move sees Gibbs square for Rodriguez, whose effort is deflected behind for a corner. Phillips' resulting corner deflects off of Doucoure at the near post, and Evans is there to power a header into the back of the net for 2-0! What a start for the Baggies!
18'
S. Rondón has scored a goal for West Bromwich Albion! Assist by G. Krychowiak.
Krychowiak gets credit for the assist, but in reality Rondon did it all on his own. The ball forward was hopeful at best.
GOAL! Rondon chases down a hopeful long ball, barges Kabasele off the ball in a shoulder-to-shoulder challenge, and fires across Gomes to open the scoring brilliantly! Really strong, determined work from the striker to open his account for the season.
15'
Rodriguez makes the most of a good refereeing decision to play advantage, slipping Phillips in down the right. His initail effort is blocked by Watford, but their clearance finds its way back to him and he lofts a cross into Rondon, but it's just a touch too high!
13'
Lots of long, high balls from West Brom, but they haven't been able to capitalise on them as of yet.
10'
Doucoure gallops through midfield, loses it, but does really well to follow up with a press and win it back for his side. He's been a very impressive signing for Watford.
8'
Holebas launches a very long throw into the box, and wins a corner for his efforts. Such a useful tool to have in your squad.
7'
Brunt is starting on the left with Phillips on the right. The idea seems to be for the two wide men to produce some old-fashioned wing play, getting down the sides and producing crosses for Rondon in particular to feed off.
6'
Krychowiak skips away from his man in midfield and plays the ball down the flank for Brunt, but the winger's pass into the centre is loose and Watford recover.
4'
A good attacking move is curtailed as Watford lose the ball, and Cleverley is penalised in his eagerness to win the ball back.
3'
Rondon shows good strength to hold off Mariappa, who eventually fouls the big striker as he tries to burst past him. There'll be a good physical battle between these two today.
2'
Gibbs shows quick feet as he marauds down the left, but Watford just about recover their defensive shape and scramble the ball clear.
1'
And we're off! The home side get us underway.
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League fixture between West Brom and Watford at the Hawthorns.
The teams are out, so let's start with the home team.
West Brom XI (4-4-2): Foster; Gibbs, Evans, Hegazi, Dawson; Phillips, Barry, Krychowiak, Brunt; Rodriguez, Rondon
West Brom substitutes: Nyom, Robson-Kanu, Morrison, Livermore, Myhill, McClean, Chadli
Tony Pulis has made two changes from the 2-0 away defeat to Arsenal, dropping Allan Nyom and Jake Livermore for Matt Phillips and Chris Brunt, and returning to a back four.
Marco Silva makes just one change, handing Troy Deeney his first Premier League start of the season in place of summer signing Andre Gray, who scored the opener against Swansea last time out.
On the injury front for West Brom, Nacer Chadli (thigh) and Oliver Burke (hamstring) returned to training this week, but lack match sharpness, and only the former makes the bench today.
For Watford, Miguel Britos returns from suspension, having received a straight red card for a late challenge on Brighton's Anthony Knockaert, and makse the bench today. However, Nathaniel Chalobah joins Craig Cathcart and Mauro Zarate on the sidelines with a knee injury, and will require surgery. Younes Kaboul (hamstring) is also still out, although Sebastian Prodl (thigh) is closing in on a return.
West Brom are unbeaten at home in the Premier League this season, but they will face a stern test today from Watford - who have won all three of their away games so far. The Baggies are on eight points, and have dropped to 12th after their bright start - they won their first two games, but have failed to register three points since. Watford, meanwhile, sit sixth on 11 points, having lost just once so far this campaign - a 6-0 drubbing by a red-hot Manchester City.
The two sides come into the game in different moods too - the home side will be looking for a positive result at home against the Hornets, having been beaten 2-0 by Arsenal in their last game. Watford, however, will be buoyed by their dramatic late 2-1 win against Swansea in their last outing, and will look to extend their club-record three successive away wins to four here.
Watford will have to maintain greater discipline against the Baggies than in recent times though, having had a man sent off in their last two league encounters. Pereyra and Britos each saw red to reduce the Hornets to 10 men.
Under Tony Pulis, the blueprint for West Brom is clear, the Baggies have recorded the lowest average possession so far this season (37.3%), and have completed a league-low 1300 successful passes.
West Brom have not been awarded a penalty in 39 league games, the longest wait of any current Premier League side - and they will feel aggrieved that that run was not ended on their visit to the Emirates last time out.
The teams are out on the field in the rain, and will kick off shortly.
And that's half-time! A thrilling first 45 minutes that produced three goals - a powerful, determined opener from Rondon and a header from Evans following a corner to put the home side 2-0 up, before a fine finish from Doucoure into the bottom corner made it 2-1.
Watford have dominated possession, but it's the Baggies who look to be sharper in the final third. Watford grew into the game and mounted pressure on their opponents as the half came to a close, but they'll need to find a little more quality in attack if they are to salvage anything from this game. Carrillo had a glorious chance to head into an open goal and skied it - the sort of chance the visitors can't afford to keep passing up.
Watford move up to 5th, and maintain their stunning start to the season. West Brom move up to 10th as well, although Pulis will be bitterly disappointed to see his side throw two points away from a set piece situation in what was virtually the last kick of the game.
And that's it!! What a thrilling end to the game! Rondon opened his account for the season with a bustling opener, before Evans made it 2-0 from a corner kick. Richarlison was the key figure for Watford though, setting up Doucoure's goal in the first half, before heading in a dramatic late equaliser! That's twice in two games for the Brazilian now, having found a late winner for his side against Swansea. He's proving to be a really strong character, and he showed it there!
