The top four race continues to produce more twists, with nine-man Tottenham Hotspur slumping to a 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday. Chelsea will now have the opportunity to gain advantage in the topsy turvy race when they welcome Watford to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.
Chelsea have themselves been culpable of letting go of the chances they have been given in recent weeks, as have every other side in the top four race. The Blues are now three games without a win in the Premier League, with the latest such result coming in the form of a 1-1 draw against Manchester United last week.
Team News
Ruben Loftus-Cheek should be fit after being withdrawn in the latter stages of Chelsea's first-leg draw at Frankfurt.
Head coach Maurizio Sarri put that down to cramp but Chelsea will assess centre-back Gary Cahill after he missed the Frankfurt trip with an Achilles tendon problem.
Fellow defender Antonio Rudiger (knee) and winger Callum Hudson-Odoi (Achilles) are long-term absentees.
Troy Deeney returns from suspension for Watford after serving a three-game ban.
Craig Cathcart will be assessed after going off with injury against Wolves last weekend, while Sebastian Prodl (knee) and Domingos Quina (shoulder) are out.

It won’t be easy because watford are a tough side and Chelsea haven’t been consistent this season but we are Chelsea and we pass all the hurdle in our way. Come on boys let’s get that 3rd place!!!!!

Chelsea needs to score a lot of goals to avoid goal aggregate elimination , because among those who are fighting for top four, it's only Chelsea with few goals.
That’s a lie dude we have more goals than Arsenal and United get your fucking facts right
