Batshuayi eyes Watford reward

LONDON. — Scorer of the goal that won Chelsea the title, Michy Batshuayi will hope to make his first English Premier League start for the club in tonight’s home game with Watford.

The Belgium striker came off the bench to score the decisive goal in Friday’s 1-0 win at West Bromwich Albion, which confirmed Chelsea as champions.

Batshuayi is yet to start a league game since arriving from Marseille last year, but could be given a run-out if, as expected, manager Antonio Conte elects to shuffle his pack.

“I’m delighted for Michy,” said centre-back Gary Cahill following victory at The Hawthorns.
