    Liverpool and Scotland football legend Sir Kenny Dalglish has tested positive for coronavirus and is in hospital but showing no symptoms.

    The 69-year-old was admitted to hospital on Wednesday for treatment of an infection and tested positive for Covid-19 after a routine test.

    And Norman Hunter too.

    Sadly these guys like everyone else they are humans of a certain age who might well suffer like the rest of us.

    Wish them all well - Jimmy Greaves too.

    Fun and games in Scotland - they are voting to end the season as the places are so typically teams that get promoted have done so and teams likely to get relegation haven't!

    And now one team hasn't voted at all - Dundee whose big rivals are tip of the Championship!

    Chelsea v Watford, 2pm.

    Deeney crowded out a couple of times early on, but Chelsea the better side.

    11’ Deeney tries to volley from the D at the edge of the area, but he shot goes too high.

    15’ Defensive errors leave Watford exposed. Giroud, unmarked, shoots from near the penalty spot, but a world class save from Foster, whose strong right arm pushes the ball around the post.

    37’ The ball is passed in beautiful triangles through the Watford midfield and central defence. Willian has a shot shot again strongly saved by Foster. He hit it hard, but perhaps at a height and position to make it easier for the Watford keeper.

    40’ A Watford break by Sarr. He looks on his own, plays a pass square into the middle. Deeney makes progress forward and shoots. Deeney hits the post. The keeper is on the floor as the ball rebounds to Pereyra who shoots into the empty net.

    Chelsea 0 Watford 1 (Pereyra 40’)

    1 minute of extra time. Watford pressure on Chelsea keeps the ball in the Chelsea half.
