Watford form and stats
Watford have played 6 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-3 (wins-draws-losses).
Watford faced defeat in their previous match, away at Leicester City (2-4). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Emmanuel Dennis, a forward, was the highest rated performer for the side in that match, and was presented with a rating of 7.23 (out of 10). Dennis scored one goal and hit two key passes.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Manchester United in a game that was won 4-1.The match schedule is unforgiving for Watford as they have a new game in only three days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Manchester City are visiting.
The Watford fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. Watford have conceded 12 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Chelsea form and stats
The away performances of Chelsea have been very solid so far with 5 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats in the Premier League. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. Chelsea has been amazing away for a time now, winning four in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against Liverpool.
There were no winners in Chelsea's previous match, a Premier League home game that ended 1-1 vs Manchester United (placed 8th). The attacker Hakim Ziyech got a match rating of 7.41 in that game. Ziyech hit two key passes and had 39 successful passes (of 47 total).
A home win before that, celebrating 4-0 vs Juventus.Chelsea have another fixture away in just three days, a Premier League game vs West Ham United. A grim calendar for them!
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Chelsea are regular goalscorers on their travels. Chelsea are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 1 away goal have been conceded so far.
