Classy Chelsea should make it four in a row

Kick-off 3pm Saturday

Talk of a successful Chelsea title defence has been almost non-existent but the Blues are only three points worse off than they were at the same stage last season and they can make it four league wins in a row by triumphing at the Hawthorns.

Tony Pulis usually steers teams to safety but his credit among West Brom supporters has been running out after a run of ten games without a win.

Albion have to face five of the big six before the end of the year but they do not appear to be playing well enough to trouble the top teams.

Recommendation
Chelsea
1pt 8-13 general
