Chelsea Predicted XI: Watford (H)

Chelsea host Watford at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon knowing victory will move them above Tottenham into third and could potentially secure them a top four finish this season.

The Blues will qualify for the Champions League should they beat Sunday’s opponent’s and both Arsenal and Manchester United lose their respective league games against Brighton and Hove Albion and Huddersfield Town.

Eden Hazard scored both goals in Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over Watford in the reverse fixture at Vicarage Road on Boxing Day, scoring his 100th goal for the club in the process.

The Hornets travel to Stamford Bridge looking to build some momentum ahead of their FA Cup final clash with Manchester City in a fortnight, after last weekend’s defeat to Wolves.

Chelsea will be without Callum Hudson-Odoi and Antonio Rudiger for Sunday’s clash, with both ruled out with respective season ending injuries, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a doubt.

Here’s how we think the Blues will line up on Sunday.
