View West Bromwich Albion v Watford head to head

Kick-off: 3.00pm Following a plane crash on Monday 28 November in Colombia that killed 71, a minute's silence was held before every football match this weekend. Football's world governing body FIFA also requested that all players wear black armbands in remembrance. Nineteen of the dead were members of the Chapecoense Football Club from Brazil on their way to play the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final in Medelin, Colombia. Watford had now won only one of their last nine league visits to The Hawthorns (lost five).

Comments:

League position: 6th West Bromwich Albion had now scored seven goals in their last two Premier League home games after a run of scoring more than once in only one of their previous ten Premier League games at The Hawthorns. Albion had now won three of their last four Premier League games after winning only two of the previous 19. With his first since the Baggies' 3-0 win against Chelsea on 18 May 2015, Chris Brunt ended his run of 29 Premier League appearances without a goal. Matt Phillips scored in the first minute of added time in the second-half.

Comments:

League position: 10th Watford had now lost three of their last four Premier League games, conceding 11 goals. The Hornets had now had a player sent-off in consecutive Premier League games (also Miguel Britos against Stoke City). Christian Kabasele netted his first goal since he scored RC Genk's sixth in a 6-1 win against Waasland-Beveren in Belgium's Jupiler Pro League on 13 February 2016. Jerome Sinclair replaced Stefano Okaka in the fourth minute of added time in the second-half.
