Confirmed Chelsea side vs Watford: Saul Niguez and Kenedy start, Ben Chilwell named on the bench

Saul Niguez and Kenedy have both been named in the Chelsea side by Thomas Tuchel for the Blues' final Premier League game of the season against Watford. Perhaps more noteworthy, however, is that Ben Chilwell is among the substitutes after his return to first-team training this week.

Tuchel has made five changes to the team that drew against Leicester City, with Cesar Azpilicueta, Mason Mount and Kai Havertz returning to the side. There is very little riding on the contest with Chelsea's place in third already secured and Watford having been relegated a fortnight ago.

The Chelsea side is a strong one, though. Edouard Mendy starts in goal once more with Kepa Arrizabalaga on the substitutes' bench. Azpilicueta, who could be playing his final game if the Blues grant him a move to Barcelona, is stationed on the right of the back three with Thiago Silva in the centre.
