Patrick Vieira makes five changes to the team which beat Southampton as Roy Hodgson returns to Selhurst
Palace dominate early on, creating several chances but not forcing Ben Foster into any serious action
Hassane Kamar handles the ball to concede a penalty, which Wilfried Zaha converts to put his side ahead after 30 minutes
The hosts remain dominant throughout the first-half, with Marc Guéhi almost heading them a second only to be acrobatically denied by Foster
Half-time: Crystal Palace 1-0 Watford
The second-half starts somewhat quieter than the first did, with Palace looking confident but unhurried in the lead
Odsonne Edouard shows skill and tenacity in the box to create a chance he puts between Foster’s legs; the ball just makes contact, however, and is brushed onto the post
Kamara is sent off for a second yellow card after cynically fouling Michael Olise
