Both West Bromwich Albion and champions Chelsea have earned a single point from their respective games in the Barclays Premier League.
The Blues are already 5 points behind their main title rivals Manchester City and must not drop points today. It will be fair to say that Chelsea are favorites to earn all three points today but West Brom may have something to say about that at the Hawthorns.
As far as Chelsea’s team news is concerned, Belgian goalie Thibaut Courtois is back in the starting XI after missing the crucial game against Man City due to suspension. He replaces summer signing Asmir Begovic who is on the bench today.
The newest arrival Pedro goes straight into the starting XI and will be playing on the right hand side of attack. Brazilian star Willian will play behind Diego Costa.
Surprisingly, Gary Cahill is on the bench and Mourinho has opted to start Kurt Zouma with John Terry in central defense. New defender signing Baba Rahman is not even in the squad.
Here is Chelsea’s confirmed starting XI formation vs the Baggies.
