Chelsea vs West Brom Preview
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is under increased pressure after his side slumped to a 4-1 defeat to Watford in what was their third loss in their last four matches. Even more worrying for the Blues is that they have only won two of their last ten games. The current Premier League champions are all but out of the title race but they are battling it out with the likes of Man Utd, Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal for a Champions League spot. Their recent blip in form has put a huge dent in guaranteeing that but they are still in the top four in the table and will be looking to remain there with a win over West Brom on Monday.
Tiemoué Bakayoko will miss Monday’s fixture due to receiving a second yellow card in their last outing against Watford. Something Chelsea fans may be happy about as the £40m midfielder has drastically underperformed since his move from the French club, Monaco. Pedro is uncertain to feature following an injury sustained against Watford. Conte will be hoping that Marcus Alonso, Ross Barkley and forward, Alvaro Morata will be available for selection but it is expected that new signing Olivier Giroud will start up from after coming off the bench to make his debut last weekend.
West Brom come into this game off the back of two successive defeats to Southampton and Manchester City. However, before these, the Baggies won three out of four, including an impressive 3-2 win over Liverpool at Anfield despite being under pressure for the majority of the game. However, the points picked up at Anfield were only three of seven acquired all season on the road. Compare this to Chelsea’s home form where they have picked up 26 points and you can see why the home team are clear favourites here.
West Brom manager Alan Pardew expects the return of Grzegorz Krychowiak, Kieran Gibbs, Jake Livermore and Hal Robson-Kanu. Nacer Chadli and James Morrison are both unavailable for selection due to injury.

Chelsea vs West Brom Prediction
There probably won’t be a better time this season to play Chelsea given their recent results. However, unfortunately, Alan Pardew’s side has seen less than impressive results on the road this season and they too will be vulnerable to attack. Fifth-placed Tottenham play sixth-placed Arsenal on Saturday and a win for Chelsea could potentially allow them to widen the gap between themselves and Spurs. The expected return of Alonso, Barkley and Morata will give Conte more options and we expect Chelsea to achieve a comfortable win against a West Brom side who will remain bottom of the table for another week.

Chelsea have won four of the last five meetings with West Brom with the other ending in a draw. The latest time these two sides met was at The Hawthorns in November when Chelsea won the game convincingly 4-0.
West Brom have failed to find the net against Chelsea in the last three meetings and given the fact they have only scored seven times on the road this season, we can see that stat remaining after Monday.
