This has been a season of resurrection for Chelsea under Antonio Conte

This victory over Watford moved Conte's charges up to 90 points, with Sunday's meeting with Sunderland their final fixture of the season. If they are able to defeat David Moyes' already relegated side as expected, they will end the season on 93 points - which would be the second-highest tally in Premier League history and only two fewer than the number Jose Mourinho amassed at Stamford Bridge in 2004/05.

It is a statistic which really emphasises just how impressive the Blues have been this season. Five other teams began the season with hopes - some stronger than others – of finishing on top of the pile, yet Chelsea have been considerably better than each of Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United.

For Watford, the year ends at home to Manchester City on Sunday. Win and they could finish as high as 11th; lose and they might slip below Swansea CIty and into 17th spot in the standings.
