Match Preview

Chelsea narrowly hold on to their top-most spot, but each passing day, Manchester City are chipping away at the lead. A win is a must for Thomas Tuchel’s men, if they are adamant about holding on to the first position. And they have gotten themselves the perfect opponent. Not only are Watford a newly-promoted squad from the Championship, but they are also one of the worst in the PL at the moment. With a total of just four wins, they are placed 16th in the table, and on top of that, they also have a poor h2h record against this foe over the years. By all means, expect a win for the Blues this Wednesday at the Vicarage Road. Watford vs Chelsea Head-to-head (h2h) The latest encounter had ended in a 3-0 win for the Blues. They are on a four-fixture winning streak. They had scored a total of 21 goals from the past eight meetings. It’s been five years since the hosts have kept a clean sheet at this stadium. Watford vs Chelsea Prediction & Analysis Watford lost 4-2 on the road the last match-day, against Leicester. They were also winless in nine of the past twelve overall fixtures, and seven of these were losses. Going on, not once have they kept a clean sheet at home in a league game this season, and even had conceded twice or more in three of the past six such fixtures. On the other hand, Chelsea will be a little frustrated, as they were unable to secure a win over Manchester United the last game week. Still, they are on a 11-match unbeaten run, and nine of these were wins. Note that they had also scored three or more goals in five of the past nine games. Considering these observations, expect a compelling win for Chelsea this Wednesday. Key Stats  Tuchel’s men are placed at the top of the table, and so far they have lost just once. This sole defeat had come against reigning English champions Manchester City. They have conceded the least number of goals of all the teams in the competition, and have scored the most – barring just Liverpool. Meanwhile, Watford had five or more goals in four of their last six matches, and they had also lost five of their past seven fixtures.
