Reasons For Chelsea vs Watford Predictions & Betting Tips
Chelsea are the favourites to win this match, and will want to get back to winning ways in the Premier League against Watford at 1.29 with bet365.
After last week’s shock loss to Crystal Palace, the Blues find themselves nine points behind leaders Manchester City and can’t afford to lose any more ground even at this early stage in the season.
You wouldn’t expect them to have too many problems at home to Watford, although the visitors have been in great form and are actually two points ahead of Chelsea in the table at the moment.
Antonio Conte will only have two days to prepare his team as well following their midweek Champions League match against Roma.
Ngolo Kante is out, but they are boosted by the return of star striker Alvaro Morata who has been sorely missed. Chelsea have lost both matches in his absence.
We’re backing Chelsea to win at 1.29 with bet365 with Morata to score first at 3.35 with Unibet.
Watford could cause some problems, but on the evidence of their 6-0 loss to Manchester City last month, we’re not sure they quite have the quality to seriously threaten especially at Stamford Bridge.
A 2-0 Chelsea win looks good value at 6.75 with Unibet. Despite their poor form, we can’t see a team with their quality going three league matches without a win.

Watford are the surprise team of the season so far in the Premier League, with last week’s win over Arsenal taking them up to fourth in the table. However, they did lose 6-0 to Manchester City back in September.
