Chelsea vs West Bromwich Albion Preview

Chelsea vs West Bromwich Albion

Competition – Barclays Premier League

Stadium – Stamford Bridge

Date: 12th February 2018

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

Chelsea’s season has taken a turn for the worse and does not look like it will get better any time soon.

They lost their last game on Monday at Watford 4-1 and that followed another crazy 3-0 home loss to Bounermouth.

They also are still without the service of Alvaro Morata and Tiemoue Bakayoko misses this game through suspension.

With games against Manchester City and Barcelona coming in the next few weeks, it could get worse.

Tottenham’s win over Arsenal means they are outside the top four ahead of this game, and need a win more than anything else.

West Brom are one of the teams that are used to being involved in low scoring games but their last 3 competitive games have seen 13 goals scored in total including a 3-2 win over Liverpool a few matches back.

They are currently bottom of the league table and in need of four points to get out of relegation trouble.

They come into this game with just one win in their last 24 league games.

They have been finding it easy to score away from home recently even though their defence has been conceding goals too.

They have won only one of their last 7 meetings with the Blues.
