The hosts had the better chances as new signing Wout Weghorst hit the woodwork, while Watford had a big shout for a penalty kick in the first half which VAR had a look at but waved away.

The point leaves both teams embroiled in the relegation scrap.

Burnley have now won just one of their 19 Premier League games this season, as they remain bottom of the table on 13 points. Watford sit two places and two points above them but have played two more games.

1. Weghorst, Cornet partnership may click: There were glimpses that Weghorst can cause problems in the Premier League, as his flick ons were latched onto by Cornet. One instance in the first half almost led to a goal and in Burnley played more long balls in the opening 45 minutes than any other team in the PL this season. There will be a lot more of that in the coming weeks and months and Weghorst showed enough to prove he’s going to be a handful in the final months of the season. But can Burnley give him enough quality service?

2. Hodgson makes Watford stubborn: This was a gutsy display from Watford who battled hard and kept their shape. Was it inspiring? Not really. Is it a solid platform to build from? Absolutely. Hodgson knows how to organize teams and that much was evident from his first outing as the Watford boss. If they can build on this shutout (their first of the season) they have the attacking players to win them plenty of points and get out of trouble.
