Chelsea will visit Vicarage Road to take on Watford in a Premier League 2021-22 encounter on Thursday, December 2. The Blues will be ruing missed chances in their 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Sunday. The result has reduced their lead at the top as second-ranked Manchester City are adrift by just a point and with Liverpool winning against Southampton has mounted more pressure on the Blues. They will be keen to add crucial three points in this match and consolidate their place at the top.
Meanwhile, the hosts are hovering near the relegation zone, as another loss would see themselves dropping closer to the danger zone. They are just four points off it and cannot afford to lose any more matches. Although they capped two big wins over Everton (5-2) and Manchester United (4-1), they have lost eight matches and have racked up only four wins from 13 matches so far. It will be interesting to see they could carry on their giant-killing streak on Thursday.
The Premier League 2021-22 match between Watford vs Chelsea is scheduled to kick-off at 01:00 AM IST.
