Good afternoon, all, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Stoke City v Watford.

Cameron's receiving some treatment off the field.

Bojan trying to make the difference for Stoke, and eventually Charlie Adam gets the chance to fire well wide with his left foot.

Long ball forward from Britos and Anya can't reach that.

The Stoke fans are getting restless already as Watford continue to assert themselves in midfield.

Good pressure from Watford, who are making their way into the game and putting together some neat triangles of passes.

Oh, and some good pressure there from Deeney, nicking the ball off Cameron who promptly falls over, and Johnson helps out his colleague.

All Stoke possession so far.

We kick off with the winter ball! How very exciting.

The teams are out and indulging in some fist-bumping.

The teams are lining up, and doing a friendly round of handshakes and manhugs before they emerge on to the pitch.

A minute's applause for Howard Kendall.

Don't wish to concern anyone, but Premier League games involving Watford have seen just 16 goals scored this season. Still, we've all seen plenty of brilliant 0-0 draws, right? Right?
