Watford and Wolverhampton Wanderers have headed into half time level after the two sides played out a goalless first half at Vicarage Road this evening.

The visitors came close to opening the scoring early on when Bakary Sako crossed the ball in, but Rajiv van la Parra's finish from the edge of the area was just wide.

Heurelho Gomes was called into action shortly after when Van la Parra was involved again, crossing towards Dave Edwards, but his low strike was stopped by the keeper.

The Brazilian continued to come under pressure between the posts in the opening 20 minutes, but the Watford keeper saved shots from Kortney Hause, Van la Parra and Edwards to keep the home side level.

Wolves continued to looks the more likely, with Sako sending in numerous promising passes, but Nouha Dicko blasted wide, while Troy Deeney was flagged offside while trying to force a chance for the hosts late on.
