Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea welcome Watford to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon for the final matchday of the Premier League campaign.
The Blues were all but assured of a third-place finish in the league standings last time around despite a 1-1 stalemate against Leicester City on home turf.
James Maddison gave his side a well-earned lead in the opening minutes of the Stamford Bridge showdown before Marcos Alonso’s volley ensured that the Blues salvaged a crucial point from the game.
Watford are unlikely to prove to be a tough challenger for Tuchel’s men but the Chelsea boss would be counting on his players to end the season on a positive note against the relegated Hornets.

TEAM NEWS
It is expected of Tuchel to ring in changes to his XI for the last day of the campaign but the likes of Rudiger and Azpilicueta, ahead of their departures would be in line to make the team sheet.
Loan signing Saul Niguez could also be a surprise inclusion in the midfield berths with N’Golo Kante hoping to earn some rest.
MATCH PREDICTION
Chelsea are the strong favourites for Sunday’s tie in the English capital and we expect Thomas Tuchel’s side to pick up the three points with ease.
Chelsea 3-1 Watford
