Watford v Chelsea live stream, Amazon Prime, Wednesday 1 December, 7.30pm
Looking for a Watford v Chelsea live stream? We've got you covered.
Premier League leaders Chelsea face a must-win game against struggling Watford at Vicarage Road, with Manchester City and Liverpool breathing down their necks.
The Blues’ lead was cut to one point after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Manchester United on Sunday.
But they will be heavy favourites against a Hornets side that suffered a 4-2 defeat to Leicester on the same day, their third loss in the last four league games.
That said, Watford’s 4-1 hammering of United, the result that led to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking, was evidence of their giant-killing potential.
Thomas Tuchel’s side are unbeaten in seven games in the league, and 11 matches in all competitions, after finding some terrific form of late.
They now face a brutal run of seven games in three weeks between league and Champions League, and how they fare during this period could have major consequences for the title race.
Chelsea have won their last four meetings with Watford, a run stretching back to December 2018.
For Claudio Ranieri, it will be important to get points on the board fast to stop a slide towards the relegation zone.
His team are now 16th and four points above the drop zone, although 18th-placed Burnley have a game in hand to come.
Their defending came in for criticism at the King Power, and Watford have conceded 24 goals in 13 matches so far this season - only rock-bottom Newcastle have a worse record.
Kick-off is at 7.30pm GMT on Wednesday 1 December, and UK viewers can watch live on Amazon Prime Video. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
