I see it as the complete opposite in regards to Boro and Watford. I think Chelsea will handily beat Boro, but Watford could be a very tricky fixture for them.The sunderland and watford games for chelsea are guarantee wins for chelsea imo (i know nothings a given).
Boro on the other hand may be in a situation whereby a loss may mean relegation and so any kind of miracle could happen and there defence is quite strong.
West brom/ everton and saints will be very tough games for chelsea. West brom are very physical and chelsea will be tired after having just 3 days rest. Especially as they rely on having there best 11 to play well and win. Southampton will be tough as they are a team that make you work hard without the ball. If we beat chelsea in the fa cup then they only have 2 days before that game! Everton have great home record and will be well up for it.
So imo we have 4 games to get on par with chelsea as there last 2 they will win.
I have a very strong feeling that when we come to play united at home (our very last game at whl ever) it will be to take the lead in the title race!!!
Boro look done and dusted as they've continued to be poor offensively, but now they don't even have the defensive solidity anymore. Whereas Watford nearly beat Chelsea in the revers fixture if not for two very late and lucky Chelsea goals. Mazzari is very knowledgeable of Conte and the 3-4-3 system, especially given that he likes to claim he invented it.
