Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Capoue begins an attack for Watford, but after a promising run, he tries to find but Deeney but it's a poor through ball by a man of such ability.
15 MINS
There is almost a moment of magic from Imbula, as he picks the ball up in the middle of the park, creates himself space and drives a strike at goal. It's a fantastic effort from distance, but it flies just wide. That will be a wake up call for Watford.
17 MINS
Stoke have had seven attempts so far, in comparison to a rather drab single effort from Watford.

Kaboul is on the floor receiving treatment and it looks although this could be the end of the game for him.
He was a doubt in the build up this game with a calf injury and it looks although this is a recurrence of this.

YELLOW CARD
Amrabat picks up the first yellow card of the afternoon after voicing his frustration to the linesman about a free kick decision.

Pereyra goes for a goal, following a promising Watford attack. It's not a strike that tests Grant, but it's a sign of positivity for the home side. The Argentine is always threatening in possession and appears as a catalyst for success for his side.
27 MINS
Tempers are beginning to flare at Vicarage Road and a rivalry is starting to appear between Capoue and Martins Indi.
The Dutchman picks up two free kicks in as many minutes.

GOAL
WATFORD 0 - 1 STOKE CITY
Shaqiri delivers a corner into the box and it meets the head of an unmarked, Adam. Stoke's hard work has paid off and they get the goal that they deserve. The header bounces off the post and hits Gomes and rebounds into the net.
It's not the classiest goal, but it's a goal. Watford need an injection of energy and determination if they want to get anything from this fixture.
