Brentford 1-1 Watford LIVE! Jansson scores - Premier League match stream, latest score and goal updates today
Thomas Frank could see his side move level on points with Brighton in ninth ahead of the rest of the Premier League weekend schedule with a win over Watford.
A Friday night game under the floodlights at the Brentford Community Stadium was the way in which the club introduced themselves to life in the Premier League with a win over Arsenal and, while it’s hard to suggest this would be quite as big a result, victory would set out quite the statement.
After a difficult few weeks, winning without star striker Ivan Toney would put Brentford on course to reach twenty points before the New Year. Watford, meanwhile, could be dragged further into the relegation mire, albeit their rivals towards the bottom of the league have some difficult looking games ahead this weekend.
