The Premier League game at Stamford Bridge on Sunday will see home side Chelsea go into battle with guests Watford, and our team has the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
Chelsea prepare for this match following on from a 1-1 Premier League tied result vs Leicester City. It’s our opinion that The Blues could go for a 3-4-2-1 system, utilising Edouard Mendy, Trevoh Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Antonio Rüdiger, Reece James, Jorginho, Ngolo Kante, Marcos Alonso, Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku.
It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just one fitness concern for the Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel to be concerned about due to a largely intact group. Ben Chilwell is sidelined.
How Chelsea could look for the game against Watford
Since tasting defeat last time out to Leicester City in Premier League competition, Watford and their fans will hope to get a better result this time. It’s our belief that The Hornets appear most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 system with a starting lineup of Ben Foster, Jeremy Ngakia, Christian Kabasele, William Troost-Ekong, Adam Masina, Moussa Sissoko, Edo Kayembe, Hassane Kamara, Samuel Kalu, João Pedro and Ken Sema.
Out of a mainly available group of players, there is just the sole fitness issue for the Watford manager Roy Hodgson to be concerned about. Nicolas N'Koulou (Hamstring Injury) misses out for this game.
