Chelsea interim manager, Guus Hiddink has described Super Eagles' Odion Ighalo as a dangerous striker ahead of the English Premier League clash.
Hiddink will take charge of the premier league champions after the dismissal of former manager, Jose Mourinho, adding that Troy Deeney's partnership with the Nigerian international is enough to worry about.
Watford haven't lost any of their last EPL game while Chelsea only managed just a win, a draw and two loses in their last four games, with 17 points in the 15th position.
“I have a lot of respect for Watford. They are very disciplined and have two very strong strikers in (Odion) Ighalo and (Troy) Deeney,” said Hiddink, who is on a second spell at ‘The Blues’.
“The strikers are very dangerous and have shown that frequently this season.
"I have lots of respect for what they have done but hopefully things can go positively for us. We need a sequence of positive results.”
Hiddink added: “Teams like Leicester, Crystal Palace and Watford are near the top of the league.
“That means all the teams can kill each other. You have seen the games for the last six months, any team can beat any other.”
Watford are seventh on the EPL table, 10 points ahead of reigning champions Chelsea, with Ighalo their leading scorer with 12 goals.
