Watford vs Wolves LIVE: FA Cup semi-final 2019 commentary stream, latest score, TV channel, prediction

Watford vs Wolves LIVE
FA Cup semi-final 2018-19
Venue: Wembley
Date: Sunday, 7 April, 2019
Kick-off: 4:00pm GMT, today

Watford will attempt to reach their first FA Cup final since 1984 when they take on Wolves in an intriguing semi-final today.

The Hornets are enjoying a terrific Premier League campaign under Javi Gracia - breaking their points record with a 4-1 win over Fulham in midweek - and beat Woking, Newcastle, QPR and Crystal Palace to advance to the last four of the FA Cup.

Wolves are battling it out with Watford for seventh spot and the right to be known as 'the best of the rest' in the top-flight in their maiden campaign since winning promotion from the second tier.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side are looking to reach the club's first FA Cup final for 59 years, warming up for the big day by seeing off Manchester United for the second time in a matter of weeks.

The reward for victory today is a final against Manchester City, who beat Brighton 1-0 on Saturday courtesy of a diving header from Gabriel Jesus.
