In all competitions,
Chelsea FC have not been beaten since early August. Even after drawing
with Manchester United several weeks ago, Chelsea have earned the right
to be four points clear of Southampton and eight points clear of
Man City in the Premiere League thus far. Following their win
over Liverpool last Saturday, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho criticized
fans for their lack of vocal support. It is highly likely that Chelsea
supporters will meet this accusation with a rousing welcome home for
Saturday’s match versus West Brom. Against West Brom, Chelsea have
struggled in recent years. Their last five meeting, the blues have lost
twice, drawn twice and won only once (three matches ago).
West Bromwich is coming off a 0-2 loss to Newcastle on November 9th. Their form has been lackluster of late, finding only one win since beating Burnley on September 28th.
They are also scoreless in their last two matches. Against Chelsea FC,
they have had some good success in recent years. West Brom and Chelsea
have both managed to take five points from their last two seasons (four
matches) playing against each other in the Premiere League. Though the
stats show Chelsea as an overwhelming favorite, West Brom will certainly
put up a fight in hopes of remaining in the top half of the table. Even
a draw against the frontrunners would be a massive help for the
Baggies, so they will likely show a very defensive starting line up and
formation.
