Here is how we predict West Bromwich Albion will line up against Chelsea this weekend:
West Bromwich Albion welcome Chelsea to The Hawthorns this weekend for their first match since the latest international break.
The Baggies are currently 16th in the Premier League after a terrible run of form and their manager Tony Pulis will be desperate to get a big three points on the board against the reigning champions.
That will be easier said than done given the Blues’ quality, however West Brom have shocked Chelsea before and they can do it again if they play to their full potential.
Antonio Conte’s side are fourth going into this fixture, just a single point worse off than the two sides directly above them but a full nine points behind runaway leaders Manchester City.
In early team news West Brom are without Craig Dawson and James Morrison but they have an otherwise clean bill of health.
As for Chelsea, they cannot call on Victor Moses, while Eden Hazard and Michy Batshuayi are minor doubts with a knock and a foot injury respectively.
If West Brom win they could move four points clear of the relegation zone and that would ease the pressure on their manager considerably heading into the hectic festive period.
With all that in mind here is how we predict West Brom will line up on Saturday afternoon:
