Chelsea fell victims to West Ham’s resurrection on Wednesday and finally saw their winning streak come to an end. They will now look to bounce back as they return home on Saturday, in order to host Watford. Watford are coming off yet another loss and are now dangerously close to the relegation zone.

Chelsea (16-10-6) took an early lead on the road against West Ham, them found themselves chasing the score, then they pulled even and eventually conceded a late goal to eventually lose by 2-3. That was their first loss after a six-match undefeated streak, in which they had won the last five. Chelsea are sitting at the 4th spot of the league table with 54 points, one behind Leicester and two ahead of Manchester United and Wolves. Chelsea have a 8-5-3 record at home, winning four of their last five.

Watford (6-16-10) were tragic in yet another match, where they failed to record a single shot on the opposing target in their home match against Southampton. They lost by 3-1 and the goal they scored was actually an own goal by their opponents. Watford have won just one of their last 11 matches in all competitions, oddly enough it was against Liverpool (1-6-4). They are now sitting at the 17th spot of the league table with 28 points, just one above the relegation zone.

Chelsea won by 2-1 in the reverse fixture on the road and have now won six of the last seven matches against Watford. But they kept just a single clean sheet in the process, with all seven matches going Over 2.5 Goals. Watford have not won in this venue in the past 20 years and Chelsea should have the upper hand. I also think that there will be goals here.
