Chelsea XI vs Watford: Predicted line-up, team news and injury list for Premier League match

After making changes in the Carabao Cup, Frank Lampard could revert back to the Chelsea team which beat Burnley for the upcoming trip to Watford.

If there is to be a change from Turf Moor, Pedro could come in for Christian Pulisic.

Pulisic, fresh from his treble against Burnley, played 70 minutes against Manchester United on Wednesday and could be replaced by Pedro who is fresh having not started in over a month.

Fikayo Tomori will come back in alongside Kurt Zouma at centre-back. Antonio Rudiger has been making good progress in his recovery from injury but Saturday’s trip to Vicarage Road is likely to come too soon for him.

N’Golo Kante is back in training after almost a month on the sidelines but was not fit enough to feature against Manchester United.

Cesar Azpilicueta is set to play at right-back after Reece James was given the nod in midweek.
