Morata should be fit for Chelsea’s Premier League trip to Watford on Boxing Day.But Express Sport expects him to start on the bench for the late kick-off at Vicarage Road. The Spain striker has been struggling with a knee problem, but is back in full training and Blues boss Maurizio Sarri is hopeful he will be ready to take on the Hornets.

“The (Watford) match is difficult, we know very well. We have to study very well these kinds of opponents.

“I think now the most important thing is our reaction after the match.

“In the match the reaction was not in the right way.

“Now we have to think about the reaction after the match, just in order to prepare in the right way the next match.”

Asked if Morata would be ready to face Watford, Sarri added: “I think so, I think he will be able to play.”

Andreas Christensen may miss out again with a hamstring injury.

Sarri will show his Chelsea players a video nasty of their defeat to Leicester in a bid to eradicate a creeping error count.

Chelsea lost 1-0 to Leicester in Saturday’s Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge, leaving the fourth-placed Blues 11 points behind leaders Liverpool.

“Of course, we will prepare a video about the match,” said Sarri.

“For every match we prepare a video after the match. We will prepare individual videos, the individual mistakes.

“I want to speak with the group first of all, then I want to speak with three, four, five players. I don’t know how many at the moment.

“Of course we have to do everything just in order to avoid the same problem in the future.”

Asked if he had even less interest in Christmas now than before the Leicester defeat, Sarri added: “Yes. Of course, now I am interested in the 26th, not the 25th.”
