Table toppers Chelsea tackle West Brom

-

Chelsea host West Brom in the Premier League in today’s early kick off with the Blues will looking to continue their fantastic run of form with another routine win at home. Chelsea are three points clear at the top of the table and considerin­g their recent form, they should be able to add to their eight-match winning run. Furthermor­e, the Blues have done very well against West Brom over the last few seasons and will be confident heading into the game.

Antonio Conte could be without some of his key players for this weekend’s game. Costa and Pedro are major doubts after picking up injuries against City. Matic is expected to be sidelined after missing last week’s clash and John Terry is also recovering from his injury.

West Brom are heading into this game on the back of three wins in their last four league games and the Baggies will fancy their chances of an upset here.

Tony Pulis’s men will look to dig deep with their defensive approach and frustrate the home side. West Brom have been tough to beat recently and if Costa and Pedro miss the game, it will be a massive boost for the away side.

Boaz Myhill and Saido Berahino are ruled out for the away side. Key stats Chelsea have won their last 8 matches in the Premier League.

Chelsea are undefeated in their last 10 home matches against West Brom in all competitio­ns.

Chelsea have scored at least 2 goals in 7 of their last 8 matches in the Premier League.
