Chelsea have scored 73 goals this season while Watford scored 33 but conceded the second most goals in the Premier League (75). Chelsea will win this open game with at least 3 goals in it.
Chelsea have scored as much as Watford has conceded this season. We expect the blues to show us another amazing attacking performance by taking the lead to more than a goal.

The blues were expected to fight for the title with the transfers they made as they bought the Belgian “beast” Romelu Lukaku who won the Serie A the season before with Inter Milan. However, tuchel and his men could not fulfill their fans’ expectations and desires as they grabbed a Champions League spot only without a fight for the title and losing their 0-3 lead at Santiago bernabeu which eventually led the team to exit from the competition. Chelsea also faced management problems with their owner, Roman Abramovic, leaving the club due to political reasons. The blues are now ready to build a new squad with a new owner and the same manager to compete next season.
On the other hand, recently promoted Watford could not resist the level and the Intensity of the Premier League taking the way back to the Championship with Norwich. Watford played good attacking football and had some shocking results like the one against Manchester United winning the game with a 4-1 result at home. However, they did not win a single game in their last 8 Premier League games. The former Premier League champion Claudio Ranieri was their manager at the beginning of the season who won the title with Leicester in 2015-16. After he got sacked, another legendary English manager, Roy Hodgson, took over but also could not rescue the team.

With an open game like this, Mason Mount will be the key player to change the direction of the offense, control the rhythm and pass his attackers to score goals. We fully expect the English boy to stand up for the last time this season at Stamford Bridge.
