Chelsea will be looking for their eighth win in a row in all competitions when they travel to Vicarage Road to take on Watford this weekend.
The Blues face a struggling Hornets side who sit firmly bottom of the league after picking up only five points from their opening 10 EPL games.
Last year’s FA Cup runners up will be looking for a shock win under new boss Quique Sanchez Flores, who recently rejoined the club after he was sacked in 2016.
They may well be able to capitalize on a leaky Blues defense, but with the attacking threat and overall performances that Frank Lampard’s team has shown recently, it will likely be a tall order for the Hertfordshire side.

Watford has a bit of a selection headache up front, with captain Troy Deeney unlikely to return and Danny Welbeck ruled out for a few months with a hamstring injury. Etienne Capoue is also a doubt as he struggles to overcome a knock.
For the visitors, this weekend’s game may come too soon for Antonio Rudiger, even though Chelsea’s star central defender has returned to training with the first-team squad.
N’Golo Kante will miss out once as he continues to overcome various niggles, but it’s otherwise a strong squad for Lampard to choose from. Christian Pulisic’s hat-trick against Burnley should guarantee him a start, with Marcos Alonso retaining his place at left-back ahead of Emerson Palmieri.
