They have plenty of energy off the ball and more than enough depth in defence to deal with the movement of Ighalo and Deeney, who have been starved of service in this first half. STAT: Watford have not lost four successive Premier League games since May 2000. After winning four games in a row in the Premier League, Watford have now picked up just one point in their four games following this streak (W0, D1, L3).

Watford are completely out of ideas and are sorely lacking in creativity as they try and break this Swansea resistance. They have Almen Abdi waiting in the wings and you have to wonder why he hasn't been brought on yet. The Swiss midfielder has created 28 chances for the Hornets this season. STAT: Watford have scored exactly one goal in each of their last four visits to the Liberty Stadium across all competitions. The first change for Watford isn't really an attacking one as Nyom, who is on a yellow, is replaced by Juan Carlos Paredes in what is a like-for-like swap.
He will not escape a booking for that, however. Speculative effort in the end from Cork as he skews a half-volley wide from 20 yards after Ayew did so well to knock the ball down for him, winning a header inside the area. You get the sense that Swansea may need a second goal if they are to snatch all three points. Better from Swansea as they start to pass the ball around a bit better. They had no issue working it around in midfield in the first half but the same has not been true of the second.
Another Watson set piece is dealt with easily by the Swans. This doesn't seem to be Watford's night. Swansea have not broken their focus since the opening kick and they appear determined to keep all three points - which would be good enough to take them back out of the relegation zone. STRAIGHT AT FABIANSKI! A careless bit of defending sees Swansea fail to convincingly clear their lines following a corner, and Jurado latches onto the loose ball.
They have defended capably up to this point, but the rest of the team needs to start doing their part to provide the back four with a bit of respite. CLOSE CALL! That's a very tight decision for the linesman who flags Sigurdsson for offside after a clever routine worked by the Swans following a corner.
Watord are desperately in need of a late push to end this first half. A goal seems to be out of the question, but they have to find a way to tilt the tides a bit or change momentum into the half, or they could be staring a fourth consecutive league defeat in the face. It has been all Swansea in this second half and there is no indication of that changing right now. Ake is the latest to commit a foul, in a similar position on the opposite flank. Sigurdsson's last delivery was beaten away by Gomes, so he will be hoping to do a bit better with this one. No question that's a foul as Routledge escapes onto the left flank to get on the end of a pass from Ki and knock the ball beyond Nyom, before the right-back takes him to ground.

A yellow is issued to the defender, but the free kick will be more of a worry for the Hornes. The Swans have not let up since scoring, back on the front foot and looking for more. The club is in a very fragile state right now, so it's important for them to keep their focus and not let Watford grow into the game, because if they concede it could really deal a blow to morale. STAT: Ahead of MD22, Swansea had conceded the opening goal 14 times this season, only Villa (15) had done so more often this season.

He keeps play alive and works a tidy one-two with Sigurdsson before forcing Gomes into action with a decent strike from 15 yards out. We have entered a bit of a cagey period with the ball largely being contained in midfield. The hosts are still by far the more positive side in possession, but it all seems to be fizzling out for them once they enter the final third. Jurado drags down Routledge in midfield and Michael Oliver brings play to a halt once he realises there is no advantage to be had - and the Spaniard is issued a yellow card.
It's almost as it Watford haven't been told they're playing a game tonight. They have been very poor in every facet of the pitch. A large reason for their success this season can be attributed to how hard they work collectively, but we have not seen that just yet. Bravely done by Gomes! There are a lot of eyes on the keeper, despite the fine season he's had to date, with Costel Pantilimon on his way to Vicarage Road from Sunderland. The ex-Tottenham keeper does really well here though in coming off his line to sniff out a through ball intended for Britton, when he knew he would be clattered into if he did. STAT: Since beating Manchester United at the end of August, Swansea have won just once at home in the Premier League (W1, D4, L4). A mistake from Ake awards the Swans yet another corner as the pressure begins to build on the Watford goal.
Slowly but surely the tempo is starting to pick up a bit with Watford beginning to throw caution to the wind. They will have little hesitation in sending bodies forward in search of an equaliser, though that won't serve much purpose if they can't start to get their front men some service. CRUCIAL BLOCK! Sigurdsson amazes with his skill, dribbling his way beyond a couple of defenders before picking out Ki with a pullback. The midfielder takes the chance first time, but his strike is turned aside smartly by Watson. Watford continue to grow into the game, and they seem to have developed more of an idea on how they want to attack.
STAT: Swansea are 11 points worse off after 21 games this season (19) than they were in 2014-15. Williams was walking very gingerly at the end of the first half and was especially struggling as he made his way towards the tunnel, but the training staff seems to have worked a miracle on him as he's back out for this second half and moving without any noticeable infringements as Watford ask a few early questions of the Swansea defence. HALF TIME: SWANSEA 1-0 WATFORD. The Swans head into the interval with a slender advantage thanks to a goal from their skipper Ashley Williams, in what has been a rather uneventful 45 minutes of football at the Liberty Stadium with both sides in desperate need of points to halt their respective skids. There will be just one minute added on at the end of the first half, as play is brought to a halt with Williams down injured after an innocent coming together with Behrami in midfield.
