Watford 0-2 Chelsea

Watford want a penalty!

These are not happy times at Watford.

Boos ring out around Vicarage Road as Daryl Janmaat is replaced by Kiko Femenía.

The home fans did not like that decision by Quique Sanchez Flores one little bit.

Another decent day for Tammy Abraham who has scored one and made one. Will he finish the day clear at the top of the Premier League scoring charts?

He's currently level on nine goals with Sergio Augero and Jamie Vardy.

Will Hughes chops down Emerson right on the edge of Watford's penalty area but Anthony Taylor, to the bemusement of Chelsea's players, waves play on.

Moments later Daryl Janmaat is booked for a hefty challenge on Christian Pulisic. Frustration is beginning to set in among the hosts at Vicarage Road.

Nathaniel Chalobah is hooked as Will Hughes is sent on to try and retrieve something for Watford. That's two changes for the hosts.

Chelsea are yet to make a change. They have Callum Hudson-Odoi, Michy Batshuayi, Olivier Giroud and Reece James among their substitutes.

Chelsea should be home and dry.

Mateo Kovacic rolls the ball invitingly across the six yard area but Tammy Abraham just fails to connect. I don't think Watford could complain if they 5-0 down.

Paul: Chelsea have been good mostly this season but they also usually let goals in. They have conceded 16 already just in the league. That's the same amount as Everton down in 17th.

Agubata Odinaka: One thing we love about Pulisic is that he has end product. Dude can score a goal, or two, or maybe three (sorry Burnley). Could easily hit 15 goals this season.

Mateo Kovacic has yet to score for Chelsea. He very need ends his goal drought but Ben Foster - head and shoulders Watford's best player - keeps him out.

This is a totally dominant Chelsea performance. Ten shots. Eight on target. Two goals.

They host Ajax in the Champions League after this.

That should be an absolute belter.

It should be 3-0.

Watford are all over the place as Christian Pulisic gets behind the home defence but this time the American is denied by Ben Foster's left boot.

This could get ugly for the hosts.

Willian has been terrific for Chelsea. He's running the midfield - and running rings around Watford.

Another collectors item from Ben Foster.

Chelsea are pouring forward through Willian and he picks out Mason Mount who sends in a cracking shot which Foster does ever so well to parry behind.

Foster is 36. Too late for another England appearance?

Much, much better from Watford.

They've come flying out of the blocks and it needs a timely challenge by Kurt Zouma to keep out Andre Gray after Chelsea are caught cold at the back.

Christian Kabasele brings down Emerson in full flight and Anthony Taylor decides that's worthy of the game's first booking.

What have Watford got in their locker?

Surely they can't be as bad as they were in the first half.

We're back under way.

Courtland Adams: Little late to the party, but the quality of that ball from Jorginho was ridiculous. Unparalleled vision, the guy’s proving everyone wrong this season. Legend.

Tor Noppharat: I’m falling in love with Jorginho and Kovacic more and more every game. I don't know what Lampard will do once he has Kante and Ruben Loftus-Cheek back.

Chelsea have lost just one of their last 58 Premier League games when leading at half-time - 2-1 against Wolves in December 2018.
