Preview
At the start of the season, no one could have expected to see Watford in a higher place than Chelsea, but after eight rounds, it's the Hornets sitting in fourth place, whilst reigning champs the Blues find themselves outside the top four. Antonio Conte's men have already lost three of their opening eight games, which is the first time for the Italian tactician since the 2009 season when he was in charge of Atalanta.
Chelsea's start to the season doesn't bode well for their title defense, as the last time a team managed to lose three of their first eight and still lift the title was Manchester United - over 50 years ago. Injuries, something that Chelsea largely managed to avoid last time around, have started to take their toll on the London giants. They're still missing N'Golo Kante for this game, along with new signing Danny Drinkwater, whilst Victor Moses is also set to miss out. In addition, David Luiz and Tiemoue Bakayoko are doubts due to fitness issues after the team's 3-3 draw with Roma midweek,.
The Blues have lost just one of their last eight fixtures with Watford, but come into this game having suffered a shock loss to Crystal Palace. They're the first team not just to concede to Crystal Palace but also to lose to the bottom-placed side. Meanwhile, Watford have had an excellent start to the season and come into this game having earned a well-deserved 2-1 win over Arsenal and they'll be looking to knock down another London powerhouse this weekend.
