Antonio Conte was basking in leading Chelsea to the title in his first season while Watford secured the services of Marco Silva ahead of a host of other suitors. Wind the clock forward nine months, however, and things have unravelled both in west London and Hertfordshire, with Silva gone and replaced last month by Javi Gracia and Conte seemingly talking his way to the exit door at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea do, however, remain in the top four but Spurs are breathing down their necks and Conte’s side could use a return to winning ways on Monday after the disastrous defeat to Bournemouth. A good blog from a Chelsea fan that I thought was worth a read. https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation...s-javi-gracia-tactics-richarlison-deeney-2018 please log in to view this image One of the new Chelsea signings Olivier Giroud likely to start on the bench. Watford stopped the rot against Stoke. Can they do it again, or even improve? WHEREVER YOU ARE IN THE WORLD - ENJOY THE GAME
Cheers OFH. Well with Liverpool and Spurs sharing the points, and Chelsea's setback last week, they could't have a bigger incentive. And the way the bottom of the table is rolling up we are desperate for something. So I can't see it being pretty. But if we end with a point it would be a great point. That said I'm on a roll. All three 6 nations games went my way. And Lawro is against us. C'mon u'orns ps: Great start to Feb Dave

Not our strongest defence on duty tonight, lets hope they are not needed and its an all out offensive performance from the Golden Boys!!!!
For those that don't know who Joy Mukena is, he is a London-born Belgian defender who previously spent time on the books at Tottenham Hotspur. I thought Ndong was suspended for this game. If so we are a sub short.
Good evening all! Have to say that not waiting for this important match before televising MOTD2 is rude!
sorted my stream, here it is, enjoy the game. http://thesportek.com/p/mama.php?id=17873&match=Watford vs Chelsea
