Hello and welcome to live coverage of Watford versus Manchester United in the Premier League.

GOAL! Watford 0-1 Manchester United. Memphis scores - A first-time, whipped cross from Herrera finds Memphis ahead of his marker, and he side-foots a volley into the net. An excellent goal.

Lingard and Young link up on the right, Herrera tries to flick the ball past Capoue, but Watford briefly win it back.

Schweinsteiger slides in in midfielder and wins the ball. He releases the ball quickly. Young drives down the right, fires in a dreadful cross, and Watford have a goal kick.

Lingard reaches for a high ball with his boot behind the defence, but he's penalised for a high foot.

Herrera's deflected corner is headed away, and Watford press the ball all the way back to De Gea, who flings a volley out to the left wing, and out of play.

Herrera stabs a volley into the air but Nyom flashes a wild volley over his own bar. Corner on the left, and United will miss Rooney here. HA!

Deeney wins a high ball but United clear and move into Watford's half. They're playing much slower, as would have been expected.

Mata's cross into the box just evades the outstretched leg of Memphis and then Schweinsteiger. A positive, quick start from United.

The match gets underway

I'm predicting a 1-1 draw, let me know what yours is.

You can find me on Twitter and comment on the match on @lxndrnthrtn. I can use the comments here if you don't swear and aren't profusely vulgar.

Louis van Gaal (Manchester United): "Every match is a big challenge in the Premier League. Now it is a little bit nasty because Rooney was also ill after the international break and I only see him the day after he played and then he was at home (yesterday), so I don’t think he can play either – that is our problem. It is always the same; Shaw is injured and then Rojo is not there because he is also injured or he is not fit enough, then I have a problem. You can solve that problem because we have multi-functional players.”

Quique Sánchez Flores (Watford): "With 22 different nationalities in the squad, I didn’t know whether I would be able to transmit the message I wanted to transmit, to give everyone confidence. But it is relatively easy. When there are so many different cultures and families, it is easier to introduce one way of thinking, one way to train, one method, one everything.”

Manchester United have again been linked with Arjen Robben today, so read up on that and all the transfer rumours from this morning.

Watford have done OK so far this season, but remain one of the favourites for relegation. They're no chumps, though, and haven't lost a ludicrous amount of games. If United play poorly today then they're at risk.

Manchester United are slightly patched-up today, with Ashley Young at full-back, with either Daley Blind or Phil Jones on the flanks too. Memphis is in attack, and James Wilson hasn't even been chosen for the bench.
