Only Watford (34) have conceded more Premier League away goals in 2019 than Chelsea (30).

Chelsea have won their last six away games in all competitions - only once in their history have they won more consecutively on the road (seven between February-April 1989).

Chelsea have won four consecutive top-flight away games while scoring at least three goals each time for the first time in their history.

Chelsea have scored 16 goals in their five away league games this season - only Norwich (17 in 1993-94) and Manchester City (20 in 2011-12) have scored more in their first five on the road in a Premier League season.

I think that Is a false position for them and they have a new manager (well if not really new, let's say refreshed) and some decent players.

If not taken seriously could turn into a banana skin.

 
They have not won a game in the opening 10, only managing 5 goals. They are woefully short of confidence and should be easy pickings.

In years past the perfect team for them to play would be Chelsea, we always tended to give out gifts to those teams who struggled most. So will Franks Chelsea follow the trends in our history or smash this lot like we should do?

Kepa

James

Zouma

Tomori

Azpi

Jorginho

Kovacic

Willian

Mount

Pulisic

Abraham

 
We seem to be much better away from home so far. With an exception of the opening day, we have won all of our away games in all competitions. Need a reaction here after last night, must get 3 points.

Despite not winning a game yet, they've taken points off of Arsenal and Spurs so we'll need to be clinical.

 
Hopefully we will bounce back from last nights defeat.

Never an easy game at Watford, I don't expect this one to be any different.

Fully agree. This will be a difficult and physical match. Watford are currently bottom of the table but have been much improved in recent games. 

 
I am so gutted that we wasted jorginho and kovacic against man u. A**x had no midweek fixture and have had their weekend game moved up to friday so they will super fresh to press the sh*t out of us on Tuesday. I just hope Kante is back for A**x because we will need some extra juice in midfield My team for watford

I like this line up, looks like the best options right now.

Chelsea need to stop giving up easy goals like the ones last week against Burnley, and you guys should win this easily.

 
I fear that it is such a Chelsea thing to go and lose a game like this.

I think back in recent years and I can recall a couple of similar scenarios.

2014/15 - Aston Villa away. Villa hadnt scored a goal in 11 or so hours of football and they managed to score against us.

2016/17 - Crystal Palace away. Palace had lost of all their games up until this one and they won 2-1.

Watford have not won yet and we've played 10 games. We can't go into this one thinking it's a given.

It's so important that we give 100%.

Totally agree about us giving 100% tomorrow all match and also starting with a high tempo.

Exactly is in our DNA it seems. Gift that keeps on giving.

 
Watford are looking for their first win in the league, it won't be an easy game, we should put our best performance to keep the points with us.

We're showing good football, and with our style we have to take what we need.

I'd like to see this starting lineup:

---------------- Kepa --------------

James --- Zouma --- Tomori ----- Azpilicueta

 --------- Kovacic ----- Jorginho -----

Willian ------- Mount ---------- Hudson Odoi 

------------- Batshuayi ------------

Batshuayi is in good form, I think he deserves to keep the spot with all my love to Abraham. 

 
Even thought Watford are in abysmal form and have yet to win. They are a wounded animal which makes them very dangerous.

team I would go 

kepa 

azbi zouma tomori alonso 

kova jorginho mount 

willian Abraham pulisic

The pressure is on Watford to win at home, and we are Chelsea...I'm not worried about this game at all.

I'm worried about Crystal Palace right after A**x, and then Man City right after Palace. But this game should be a routine win.

 
I can see us winning like 1-2. Definitely not feeling that is going to be an easy game for us. Hope Alonso sits

 
Match Day.

Come on Chelsea !

I'm working today from 7am -8pm ! Don't ask !!

And so will miss the match. However it's being recorded.

I'll have to do my prediction now on here, as I can't see the Watford score predictor thread

2-1 us and Mason Mount scoring in the 29th minute.

Hope this is okay admin.
