Chelsea has performed fantastically well against this team for quite so long. They won four of the last five h2h ties and recorded 11 of the last 12 wins.
At this venue, the team holds a 100% unbeaten record, and if not for a 2-2 draw four years back, the record would have been a 100% winning one.
Chelsea 3-0 Watford – ALL GOALS and Highlights
With their Champions League future hanging in the balance, count on the Blues to win this tie. It helps that the team was unbeaten in 24 of their last 26 home ties – losing just twice against previous Premier League Champions. Watford, meanwhile, lost three of their last four away ties.
But do keep in mind that Chelsea had a mid-week Europa League game on the road, and the next Friday, they have to take part in the second leg. The players are not fresh, and on top of that, the last five h2h fixtures on the trot, and the last three at this venue had goals from both teams.
Finally, Watford is desperate to make it to Europe, and they will give their best on the pitch this weekend. There’ll be goals from both teams in all probability.
