Chelsea will look to end their recent winless streak when they host Watford in Saturday's early kick-off from Stamford Bridge. The Blues have lost back-to-back league games against Manchester City and Crystal Palace respectively, whilst they had to settle for a 3-3 Champions League draw against AS Roma in midweek.
Formation: 3-4-2-1
Lineup:
Thibaut Courtois has been ever-present in the Premier League this campaign, and he is one of the first names on the teamsheet. He will start between the sticks.
The central defence could see a significant change with David Luiz deemed doubtful with a calf problem. Cesar Azpilicueta and Gary Cahill could take up their regular positions alongside Antonio Rudiger in the back three.
With Victor Moses injured, Davide Zappacosta is an automatic choice for the right wing-back spot while Marcos Alonso could feature in the opposite direction.
Tiemoue Bakayoko is another player struggling with a groin problem, and Conte could be tempted to utilise Andreas Christensen in a defensive midfield role - just behind Cesc Fabregas.
Further forward, Eden Hazard and Pedro could play on either side of Alvaro Morata, who looked in decent form on Wednesday night - following his injury comeback.
Chelsea lineup (3-4-2-1): Courtois, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Rudiger, Zappacosta, Alonso, Christensen, Fabregas, Pedro, Hazard, Morata
