40 mins: Man Utd 0 - 2 Newcastle

I honestly believe my local Sunday league side would score against this Man Utd defence. There's gaps everywhere and no co-ordination between the centre backs. Ashley Young is lucky to get away with a handball in the box.

37 mins: Man Utd 0 - 2 Newcastle

Shelvey delivers another ball into the box and Lascelles is free to head the ball. It's a good job he can't control it or else United would be three down.

David De Gea, you heroic man! What a save! Muto fires a really close range header on goal and De Gea dives to his left stopping the ball before scrambling to grab hold of it. De Gea keeps United in the contest.

Good play from Lukaku he holds the ball up against three Newcastle defenders before finding Martial on the left wing. Martial messes up though and can't drive the ball into the box.

Smalling clatters through Perez on the halfway line. Newcastle get the ball down the left side and Perez tries to find Ritchie who comes blazing into the box but the cross is over his head.

Chance for Utd! Lukaku crosses the ball the right corner, he finds Rashford perfectly and the young man sends it wide. It's a poor effort and United should have a goal back.

12 mins: Man Utd 0 - 2 Newcastle

This Man Utd defence is truly quite poor. For a team with such history and success, the defensive players this season have really let them down. Every team seems likely to score against them. Man Utd are playing at Old Trafford and are 2 goals down against Newcastle, who are scored bottom in the table.

Highlights will be shown at 10:30pm on BBC One.

It’s a big game for…

Abdoulaye Doucoure: The Watford man was not at his best at the Emirates, losing the ball far too often in dangerous areas and demonstrating an overall careless attitude while on the ball. He improved as the game reached its latter stages but the Hornets will need him to impose himself to greater effect if they are to put Bournemouth to the sword.

Best stat…

Zero: Bournemouth are yet to be victorious in a Premier League fixture at Watford. In fact, the Cherries’ only victory in their last 17 visits to Vicarage Road came in March 1997, when former Trinidad and Tobago defender Ian Cox grabbed the winner in a 1-0 win.

Remember when…

Troy Deeney may not have the hat-trick record of some of the Premier League legends, but the quality of the goals for his treble against Bournemouth in the Championship in 2013 was of the highest level.

The first of his professional career, it inspired Watford to a 6-1 hammering of the Cherries on the day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzV2UeggYBE

Player to watch…

Nathan Ake: The defender put in a resolute performance on Monday night and the statistics showed as much, with the former Chelsea man making the most clearances and passes throughout the 90 minutes. Watford will be hurting after their latest defeat, but they did create chances against Arsenal so Ake will need to give a similar performance.
