Chelsea v Watford: Cahill in for Zouma

Kurt Zouma has been dropped to the substitutes’ bench by Guus Hiddink for the Dutchman’s first match in charge since returning to Chelsea as interim manager.

It means Gary Cahill is restored alongside John Terry at the back. Eden Hazard, meanwhile, is on the bench.

Watford make one change, with José Holebas coming in for on-loan Chelsea youngster Nathan Ake, who cannot play against the Blues under the terms of his loan deal.
