A wounded Chelsea side make the trip up the M1 to Vicarage Road on Monday to face Watford in the Premier League.
Antonio Conte's men suffered an embarrassing 3-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth on Wednesday, bringing their tally of league defeats this season to five, and they cannot afford to lose any more ground as the race for a top-four finish heats up.
Watford, meanwhile, are under new management in the form of Javi Gracia an the Spanish coach has been tasked with arresting the club's seeming free-fall down the table.
The Blues were 4-2 victors when they faced off at Stamford Bridge in October, but they will encounter a different prospect this time around.
