Chelsea are currently fourth in the points table after 25 games with 50 points. They trail table toppers Manchester City by 19 points although with a game in hand. They know they need to keep having positive results to stay in top four.
Chelsea lost to Bournemouth in midweek and will be a bit disappointed. But they will need to lift themselves up ahead of the away game against Watford.
On the other hand, Watford are currently eleventh in the points table after 25 games with 27 points. They need to keep having positive results as well to stay out of danger.
