    A very good save from Kepa. Welbeck has a side-footed effort in the box that Kepa gets down and saves. Gilmour lost the ball there.

    Only on one occasion in their last 8 games at home to Watford have the Blues failed to score at least three.

    The last time Chelsea failed to score 2 at home to Watford was in 1988. They have done so today too.
  • 55'
    I wonder if Chelsea are going to bring on any of the young players here. Maybe they will do so if they get another goal.
