Chelsea will be looking to bounce back from the defeat to Manchester United in the EFL Cup this weekend when they take on Watford away from home in the Premier League.

Frank Lampard’s side suffered a 2-1 loss at the hands of Premier League rivals United at Stamford Bridge in London in the fourth round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday evening.

The Blues will lock horns with Watford away from home at Vicarage Road in the Premier League on Saturday evening.

Chelsea will field a strong team, with manager Lampard likely to field Pedro in place of Christian Pulisic – who joined the Blues from Dortmund in January 2019 for a transfer fee of £57.6 million, as reported by Sky Sports.

Fikayo Tomori and Kurt Zouma will be the two central defenders, with Antonio Rudiger and N’Golo Kante unlikely to start as they are not fully fit.

Cesar Azpilicueta – who earns £90,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – is likely to return at right-back in place of Reece James, who started against United.

Tammy Abraham will lead the line for the Blues, with Willian also in attack, and Mason Mount, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic will be the three midfielders.

This is how Chelsea are likely to line up against Watford this weekend:
