Pulisic gets the nod over Hudson-Odoi as Emerson returns at left-back

The eighth and final match of a busy Saturday of Premier League football sees Watford take on Chelsea.

Kick-off at Vicarage Road is at 17:30 GMT.

Frank Lampard’s main selection dilemma has gone the way of Christian Pulisic (£7.2m), who has been given the nod to start on the left flank.

Callum Hudson-Odoi (£6.0m) is only among the substitutes.

Emerson Palmieri (£5.5m) has returned at left-back, meanwhile, with Marcos Alonso (£6.3m) dropping to the bench.

Frank Lampard’s side are otherwise unchanged from the team that beat Burnley last weekend.

Andre Gray (£5.7m) replaces the injured Tom Cleverley (£4.9m) in Quique Sanchez Flores’ only alteration from Gameweek 10.

Watford have only scored one goal in their last five Premier League games, although Lampard’s troops haven’t kept an away clean sheet in the top flight this season.

Chelsea have averaged four goals per game in their last four league fixtures on the road, however.

Tammy Abraham (£7.8m) and Mason Mount (£6.9m) haven’t blanked in any one of those four games.

Abraham was the second-most-bought Fantasy Premier League forward of Gameweek 11 and remains the most-owned asset in FPL overall.

Pulisic himself was bought by just under 135,000 Fantasy managers ahead of this game.

Watford XI: Foster, Kabasele, Dawson, Cathcart, Janmaat, Doucouré, Chalobah, Masina, Deulofeu, Gray, Pereyra.

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Tomori, Zouma, Emerson, Kovacic, Jorginho, Mount, Willian, Abraham, Pulisic.

    Henceforth, the L in FPL will stand for Lundstram. That is all.
    Fantasy Premier Lundstram, its his league and we're just living in it.

    Fair play to Sheffield United. But once again a team showing that defense (yes, the American spelling) is the key to a solid team.

    Defense wins you championships as they say in America. Shame teams like Everton still don't get it.
