N'Golo Kante - Out again Wednesday Kante (knee) will be sidelined for Wednesday's clash with Watford.

Impact Kante has been in and out of the squad this season due to various ailments and will now be unavailable for his ninth match of the year. When fit, the midfielder has started eight of his 10 appearances across all competitions in which he generated two goals on seven shots (four on target), four crosses (zero accurate) and 17 tackles (10 won).

Mateo Kovacic - Unavailable against Watford Kovacic (hamstring) will not be ready to play versus Watford on Wednesday.

Impact Kovacic has already missed the previous six matches due to his hamstring issue and will now be shelved again Wednesday. In five appearances before getting hurt, the midfielder recorded two assists, six shots (zero on target) and three crosses (zero accurate). Given his extended layoff, Kovacic may have to settle for a spot on the bench before getting a crack at the starting XI.

Romelu Lukaku - Ready for more minutes Lukaku (ankle) is ready for more minutes after playing eight minutes off the bench against Man United, according to manager Thomas Tuchel.

Impact Lukaku is ready for more minutes, but he may not be ready to start Wednesday on a short week. It's more likely he'll play closer to 30 or so minutes off the bench than be given a start and go 60 minutes, but given the team's injury issues, a start wouldn't be overly surprising.

Edouard Mendy - One save in draw Mendy made one save during Sunday's one-all draw with Manchester United.

Impact Mendy had little to do Sunday and failed to stop one of the two shots he faced. The keeper has been excellent all season and currently has seven clean sheets in 12 games, he is an elite option for fantasy purposes.

Callum Hudson-Odoi - Creates four chances in draw Hudson-Odoi created four chances and shot twice on goal during Sunday's one-all draw with Manchester United.

Impact Hudson-Odoi was a strong option Sunday and did well even if he was held off of the score sheet. The midfielder has played his way into the starting XI and is a worthwhile option when starting. That said Chelsea love to rotate so there is never a guarantee that Hudson-Odoi will start, or play a full 90.

Reece James - Active in draw James sent in 10 crosses (one accurate), creating one chance during Sunday's one-all draw with Manchester United.

Impact James had plenty of chances down the right side of the midfield, but was wildly wasteful Sunday. With so many chances to break the deadlock he failed to get next to anything done and put three shots off target. James has a very favorable match to look forward to, away to Watford on Wednesday.

Marcos Alonso - Sixteen crosses in draw Alonso sent in 16 crosses (four accurate) during Sunday's one-all draw with Manchester United.

Impact Alonso rewarded fantasy managers with his duty on set-pieces Sunday, sending in 13 corners. The wing-back has been simply lethal - when he plays, which hasn't been as often as fantasy managers would like. It's hard to pick any single player from the very fluid Chelsea starting XI, but Alonso is worth a flier when playing.

Hakim Ziyech - Busy in draw Ziyech shot six times (twice on goal), and created two chances on four crosses during Sunday's one-all draw with Manchester United.

Impact Ziyech has been a solid fantasy producer recently, even though he has been in and out of the starting XI. The attacking midfielder figures to be a premier option Wednesday, against a weak Watford side. The only thing limited Ziyech is the struggling finishers in front of him.

Timo Werner - Six shots in draw Werner shot six time off goal during Sunday's one-all draw with Manchester United.

Impact Werner's six shots were a team-best, but none even troubled David De Gea in what was a wasteful performance for the striker. He has only scored once in eight appearance this season, he will look to improve on that against Watford on Wednesday.

Jorginho - Nets PK Jorginho scored once on one shot during Sunday's one-all draw with Manchester United.

Impact Jorginho scored his second goal of the season, another penalty, during Sunday's draw. The midfielder has value as a penalty specialist, but his role in the team outside of penalties doesn't offer much. Next up is a Wednesday trip to Watford.
