Chelsea boss Antonio Conte goes into their clash with Watford with his job on the line.

A combination of poor results and a rift with Blues owner Roman Abramovich over who makes signings has left him on the brink.

The Daily Express says should Chelsea suffer a loss at the hands of Watford, Conte's fate could be sealed.

The former Juventus manager still has 18 months to run on his contract at Stamford Bridge.

Conte boasts a 69 per cent win rate from the 86 games he has been in charge at Stamford Bridge.

But the 48-year-old is now under increasing pressure ahead of a huge Champions League tie with Barcelona.
