Watford's game against Chelsea has been temporarily suspended following a 'medical emergency' in the crowd.

The players left the pitch early in the first half and some of the medical staff went to assist.

Watford tweeted: "There is a break in play due to a medical emergency in the crowd. Both teams have left the field."

The Watford and Chelsea players were taken off the pitch

The game was only a little over 10 minutes in with Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel making six changes from his side's 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Sunday as the Blues took on Watford.

Jorginho, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Hakim Ziyech dropped to the bench in place of Saul, Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic.

Reece James was not included in the matchday squad, with Kai Havertz, Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta also named in the starting XI.

Claudio Ranieri only made one change to the starting line-up from the side which lost at Leicester, despite Watford's mounting casualty list.

Joao Pedro was included while Cucho Hernandez took his place among the substitutes.
