Bottom club Watford host highflying Blues on Saturday and will look to find a way to topple a Chelsea side brimming with confidence.
Winless Watford can’t seem to be able to get themselves off the foot of the Premier League table, but Norwich and Southampton also struggling, the Hornets can climb off the bottom of the table by a win over Frank Lampard’s side.
However, that would be a huge ask against a Chelsea team that had stringed together a seven game winning streak that was only ended by United in midweek.
Frank Lampard named a much-changed team for that Carabao Cup defeat to Man Utd at Stamford Bride but will expectedly restore all his big-guns to the starting XI for the Blues’ Premier League meeting with Watford on Saturday.
Chelsea’s recent Premier League away form has been outstanding and with Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount continuing to sparkle, their latest assignment on the road should follow the way of their last four top-flight games away from Stamford Bridge which the Blues have won.
