Chelsea have been on a fine run during the past couple of weeks but they suffered a minor setback this week when they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Man United.
And next up, Frank Lampard’s men shift their focus to the Premier League as they take on Watford FC away from home on Saturday.
The Hornets are currently sitting at the bottom of the table and have not picked up a win in their past five league matches which means the Blues should be looking at an easy three points.
But according to Charlie Nicholas, Chelsea might just drop points at Vicarage Road Saturday.
The pundit has claimed that Watford played some really fine football in patches during their draw vs Bournemouth last weekend and if they can replicate that same energy vs Chelsea this weekend then surely they can pick up something from the game.
Nicholas wrote for Sky Sports: “I have to hold my hands up and say ‘wow’ at Chelsea. A batch of youngsters are playing superbly and the balance is spot on, even without N’Golo Kante.
“If Tammy Abraham doesn’t score, you have Christian Pulisic, then you have Callum Hudson-Odoi and Willian back in decent form too.
“They are really good to watch – the Roman Abramovich vision has been waiting to get to this sort of style.
“They have won the Premier League a number of times as well as the Champions League, but this is a whole new experience for them.
“I said it had the potential to be a roller coaster at Burnley, but they keep rolling teams over. How can you go against Chelsea at the moment, just because of the way they go about their business?
“By all accounts, Watford sounded like they were great for the first 20 and awful for the last 70 minutes against Bournemouth.
“Abdoulaye Doucoure and Gerard Deulofeu must get into these games. I keep getting the Chelsea games wrong, but if I go for them here, I may end up regretting it again, but my, they are good to watch.”
If Chelsea pick up all three points vs Watford then they will move up to the second spot on the league table and might very well remain there until the end of the week if both Man City and Leicester fail to win their respective matches.
