Chelsea are in a bad trend. In the last three
games, Antonio Conte's squad always failed to win.
After being beaten 1-0 by Manchester City, Chelsea surrendered 1-2 from Crystal Palace and a 3-3 draw with AS Roma. Their ambitions to improve on this weekend are likely to be difficult. Therefore, Chelsea have to face Watford who was running smoothly in the Premier League stage. Clashes between the two teams will be held at Stamford Bridge Stadium on Saturday (21/10/2017) night local time.
Surprisingly, the team made by Marco Silva able to penetrate the top four. Until the eighth week, Watford had 15 points in four wins, three draws and one defeat. Tom Cleverley Cs two points ahead of Chelsea who also get four wins. The rest of the Blues were defeated three times and once held to a draw.
As a team of dark horses, Watofrd would certainly give trouble to Chelsea. Moreover, the host in a state of crippling because five players are smothering injury. Tiemoue Bakayoko and David Luiz reportedly followed Danny Drinkwater, N'golo Kante and Victor Moses who had already stayed in the medical treatment room.
"We actually have seven to eight players injured, which is a serious problem for us, even after the match David Luiz has a problem with his calf, while Bakayoko is ill in his adductor, I hope this is not a problem," Conte told Sky Sports after the Chelsea match counter AS Roma, on Thursday (19/10/2017) then.
The absence of Kante, Drinkwater and Bakayoko made the Chelsea midfield to be perforated. Currently only left Cesc Fabregas who can play the position as a central midfielder. David Luiz can actually be given that role. But the player also suffered an injury so there is a possibility Conte will shift Antonio Rudiger or Andreas Christensen becomes more to the middle.
If it wins, Chelsea will take over the fourth rank from Watford's hands. But if lost, the Roman Emperor squad threatened followed by Arsenal (13 points), Burnley (13 points), Liverpool (13 points), and Newcastle United (11 points).
Here are the approximate composition of the players of both teams
Chelsea (3-4-3): Courtois; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Cahill; Zappacosta, Fabregas, Christensen, Marcos Alonso; Pedro, Hazard, Morata.
Watford (4-3-3): Gomes; Kiko Femenia, Britos, Holebas, Mariappa; Kabasele, Cleverley, Capoue; Pereyra, Richarlison, Gray.
