Watford vs Chelsea 01.12.2021

Despite appointing Ranieri to rescue the sinking ship, things are not looking good for Watford at the moment. 3 losses in their last 4 games including the 4-2 loss at Leicester at the weekend has them clutching at straws as they continue getting sucked into the relegation abyss.

Chelsea meantime had their lead at the top cut to just a single point as they shared the spoils with Manchester United in the weekend EPL blockbuster.

The Blues dominated the game but just couldn’t break down a resolute and dogged United side that was basically set up to pick the point they got. Their dominance saw them getting 15 corners in the game. We expect them to come out all guns blazing here and they are likely to bag more corners here based on their wing play.
