    In Watford's last six matches they've scored in the 86th minute or beyond...

    Chelsea 2-2 Watford

    Watford are making a mockery of my previous assumption that they were happy with a draw. They break at pace down the left as Richarlison (who else?) tries to dribble his way through the Chelsea defence. He almost succeeds as the home side hack clear.

    Chelsea 2-2 Watford

    Michy Batshuayi has offered more threat in 20 minutes than Alvaro Morata then did in the previous 61. The substitute rolls his marker, Drogba style, blasting a rising effort just wide.

    Watford show their first sign of being content with a point. Off goes striker Troy Deeney, on comes midfielder Ben Watson. The shop shutters coming down?

    Michy Batshuayi fancies his chances of bagging another. I'm not surprised - he likes playing against Watford. The Belgian has scored half of his six Premier League goals against the Hornets and has another pop from 20 yards, curling inches past Heurelho Gomes' left-hand post.

    It's hard to see where this is going. It's quite open. Chelsea look a bit better now in this 4-4-2 but there's a lot of Chelsea players limping, including Gary Cahill and David Luiz - Watford might think they should put more pace out there.

    Ooooh! What's Heurelho Gomes up to here? He lets the ball run past him towards his open goal with Michy Batshuayi in pursuit, then dives on the ball to avert the danger. I think he thought there was an offside flag raised. Oh, there was. But it arrived quite late.

    Into the final 15... and Watford still look more likely to bag the next goal. Tom Cleverley's deflected shot flashes wide after Cesc Fabregas sticks his frame in the way.

    Watford aren't fazed about conceding here - we've already seen that. The visitors are still doing what they were doing before the equaliser and create another chance to re-take the lead.

    Christian Kabasele escapes his marker at the far post to meet a free-kick into the Chelsea box, but his free header lacks power and is easily scooped up by Thibaut Courtois.

    What a final 20 minutes we have in store. Anyone dare guess which way this is going to swing? Me neither.

    GOAL - Chelsea 2-2 Watfordpublished at 71 mins

    Michy Batshuayi

    Relief for Chelsea! Chelsea get away their second effort of the half... and it ends up in the equaliser.

    Substitute Michy Batshuayi does the job asked of him, finding space to meet Pedro's precise right-wing cross to thunder a header past Heurelho Gomes from six yards. Unstoppable.

    Here's a stark statistic: Chelsea have had one shot since the break, Watford have had SEVEN.

    Antonio Conte rolls the dice for a second time. Up comes Willian, off goes left wing-back Marcos Alonso.

    A change of shape for the Blues. Can it spark a change of fortune?

    The home fans are virtually silent, apart from mutterings of discontent under their breath. It is still all Watford.

    Andre Carrillo gets stuck straight into the action, crossing towards Richarlison who is just beaten to the ball by Antonio Rudiger.

    The Hornets are temporarily down to 10 men as Pereya goes off - I reckon his shift is over. The corner comes in and is booted clear at the near post, allowing André Carrillo to replace Pereya for the visitors.

    Watford have a corner, but it is delayed while scorer Roberto Pereya goes down with a knock. Doesn't look good for the lad...

    Is Michy Batshuayi going to be Chelsea's saviour? Hmmm. He did score against them at the Bridge last season if you want some hope to cling on to Blues fans.

    Off goes Alvaro Morata, who didn't really have a sniff.

    Cesc Fabregas tries to wriggle his way through a host of red shirts in the right channel of the away box. No dice. He's crowded out and the ball dribbles out for a goal kick. A change is imminent for the home side...

    Eden Hazard tries to drag Chelsea up the pitch, the home fans finding their voice to boost their team's fading confidence.

    His cross towards Alvaro Morata is hacked clear by the visitors. Groans.
