    Chelsea go in the lead early on, what a pass from Jorginho, who doesn't even need to look up to know where Abraham is. The long pass is received by Abraham, who beats the keeper and beats Watford off guard to put his team in the lead!

    Watford make one change as Andre Gray comes in for the injured Tom Cleverly
  • PRVW
    Frank Lampard says he isn't taking any chances against Watford and that they are more dangerous being at the bottom of the table than they would be if they were higher up. Emerson is fit again and replaces Alonso. He says his team are sstriving for consistency in the long-term.
  • PRVW
    Chelsea are particularly good away from home. A win today will send them into third place, behind City and Liverpool. Watford are at the bottom of the table, but could go just above Southampton on goal difference if they win today
