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.

      Yeah I thought they’d struggle a lot this year and I felt bad for him a bit coming in at that time but has done phenomenally so far. Young players, exciting football

        tbh I think everyone under-estimated their squad depth, the loan feeder club bs has paid off. I mean that wasnt the plan but its actually worked out LOL

      There's still time. Solskjaer looked like the man for the job for a while. Now he's enemy number 1. Football turns on people really quick.

      It will probably all fall apart once he's allowed to spend money.

          I agree they don't 'need' to, but they will spend big though, just because they can. That's what happens. And then they wonder why it goes pear shaped when they just splash the cash instead of taking a proper look at the talent.

            Only think he’ll add 2/3 big hitters max. Lampard won’t dismantled the squad too much imo. Doesn’t seem like that kind of manager
