Chelsea V West Brom: Match Preview, Team News And Betting Odds

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will be keen to carry on the momentum the Blues gained before the international break when they face West Brom on Saturday.

The Baggies look destined for relegation, with Sam Allardyce’s side now ten points off safety with only nine games left to go this season.

In terms of team news, Mason Mount (knock) is expected to be fit despite suffering an injury scare on international duty. Edouard Mendy should also be available after undergoing a dental procedure during the break.

Thiago Silva (thigh), Callum Hudson-Odoi (shoulder), N’Golo Kante (hamstring) and Jorginho (knee) are all doubts, while Tammy Abraham (ankle) is expected to be ruled out.

As things stand, West Brom have a fully fit squad to choose from heading into the Saturday lunchtime kickoff at Stamford Bridge.

At the bookmakers, Chelsea are the heavy favourites with 888 Sport pricing them at 2/9 odds-on for the win. A draw is 23/4 with Unibet while a victory for West Brom is currently 16/1 at William Hill.

Predicted Score – 2-0 to Chelsea
