Half-Time Report: All square at Turf Moor between Burnley, Watford

It is goalless at the break in the Championship clash between Burnley and Watford at Turf Moor.

Sean Dyche's side should have taken the lead early on when Junior Stanislas's set piece evaded Watford defenders and Kevin Long was free at the back post, but he couldn't make contact with the ball with the goal gaping.

The visitors tried to get back into the game and almost went ahead when Troy Deeney released the run of Cristian Battocchio and played the midfielder through on goal, but he scuffed his effort and he failed to lift the ball over Tom Heaton.

Burnley had a great chance to take the lead just before the break when Stanislas again caused problems this time down the left as his pinpoint cross into the area was met by Scott Arfield, who headed low at goal but Jonathan Bond was there to make a good save.
