Both David Luiz and Bakayoko are passed fit as Chelsea return to the 3-4-3. The only surprise is Azpilicueta instead of Zappacosta as the right wing-back, with the latter dropping to the bench after starting on Wednesday. (Ouch?)

Youngster Ethan Ampadu makes the bench, possibly a decent sign of him starting in the League Cup in a few days?

Watford, like last weekend, change their shape to match the opposition, at least to start.

COME ON, CHELSEA!
