Chelsea will finish third whatever happens in today's games; they can't catch Liverpool or Man City, but have such a superior goal difference to Tottenham that they can't be caught even if they lose and Spurs win.
A Champions League spot is the least that manager Thomas Tuchel would have wanted from the season, though. Last year's European win seems a long way away after a few months that's seen them lose two domestic cups to Liverpool on penalties and be placed up for sale by owner Roman Abramovich.
Still, Watford would have gladly settled for third in the Premier League! Instead, the Hornets will be crashing down to the Championship following a season that's seen them lose seven out of their last eight games and equal the record for most home defeats in a season (15). On the other hand, they'll want to send manager Roy Hodgson off to retirement with a win.
Will they do that — or will Chelsea deny them even that minor pleasure? Find out by watching the Chelsea vs Watford live stream, and we will show you how to do that below. Here's how they line up:
Chelsea: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, James, Saul Niguez, Kante, Kenedy, Ziyech, Mount, Havertz
Watford: Bachmann, Femenia, Kabasele, Samir, Kamara, Sissoko, Kayembe, Cleverley, King, Joao Pedro, Sema

The Chelsea vs Watford live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

How to watch the Chelsea vs Watford live stream in Canada
Canadians can watch the Chelsea vs Watford live stream on DAZN.
Sadly, DAZN no longer offers new customers a 30-day free-trial period, so you'll have to pay the $20 CAD per month fee, although you can save a little by buying annually ($150 CAD). DAZN, if you're unfamiliar, has apps on every single streaming platform there is.
Canadians stuck abroad that still want their low-price alternative can use a VPN such as ExpressVPN to trick their streaming device to thinking it's back in the great white north.
