Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta set for first team return as Chelsea squad stretches to its limits

Andreas Christensen hasn’t been in Chelsea’s team in the last couple of games, but he’s surely in line for a return against Watford tomorrow night.

Trevoh Chalobah had a couple of brilliant games in a row, and it was understandable why Thomas Tuchel kept faith with him. But he looked a little shakier against Manchester United, and just in the interests of freshness as much as anything, we would expect Christensen to take his place tomorrow night.

Cesar Azpilicueta also looks a good bet to come in at right wing back, with Reece James picking up a knock, or perhaps even called into action down the left hand side, where he ended the game against Man U, although Marcos Alonso should be able to play another game having not been used excessively in the last couple of months.

Whatever solution Tuchel finds, it’s clear that his squad is being used to its full extent at the moment.
