Newly-crowned Premier League champions Chelsea will be looking to celebrate their title success with a victory when Watford visit Stamford Bridge on Monday.
Antonio Conte's men secured the trophy with a 1-0 win at West Bromwich Albion on Friday and are 1/4 (1.25) favourites without bet365 to continue the party by coming out on top in front of their own fans.
Meanwhile, the Hornets fell to a fourth consecutive defeat away to Everton last time out, but can be backed at 12/1 (13.00) to ruin the festivities with a shock victory here.
GettyTwo of the last three meetings between these sides have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 23/4 (6.75) on them cancelling each other out yet again in this one.
Although they have long looked champions in waiting after sitting comfortably top of the table for the majority of the campaign, the Blues did suffer something of a wobble when they lost twice in the space of four games at the beginning of April.
However, the leaders proved their title credentials by regrouping and racking up four consecutive victories, ending a run of 11 games without a clean sheet by winning each of the last three without conceding.
GoalDespite having the trophy already wrapped up, Conte is unlikely to allow these standards to slip with the prospect of an FA Cup final and a potential double on the horizon.
In contrast, Walter Mazzarri’s team look to have already given up for the season on the evidence of the last six matches, with five of those ending in defeat and only one seeing them find the net.
With this in mind, odds of 21/20 (2.05) seem generous on Chelsea increasing the feelgood factor by winning to nil for the fourth game in a row, against a Watford team that has lost without finding the net in six successive away matches.
