The pressure is on Chelsea manager Lampard to deliver Champions League football next season.
But there was never any doubt the Blues would move back into fourth as goals from Olivier Giroud, Willian and Ross Barkley capped a dominant display and left the Hornets still precariously placed just one point outside the relegation zone. Lampard reacted to conceding three times to West Ham by making four changes with Marcos Alonso and Antonio Rudiger paying the price for their part in the Hammers’ late winner.
Watford manager Nigel Pearson recalled Nathaniel Chalobah to the starting lineup and Andre Gray to the matchday squad after both were dropped for a 3-1 home defeat by Southampton last weekend after flouting UK government guidelines by attending a party for Gray’s 29th birthday. The visitors gave themselves a mountain to climb when Etienne Capoue unnecessarily barged into Christian Pulisic to concede a penalty.But if the Brazilian is to depart with Arsenal and Tottenham interested in keeping him in London, his Chelsea career is going out on a high as he netted his fourth goal in as many Premier League games since the resumption.
