Michael Owen Predicts The Result As Chelsea Take On West Brom

Former England international Michael Owen does not think Chelsea will have any problems dispatching West Brom at the Hawthorns tomorrow evening.

The BT Sport pundit says that manager Frank Lampard will be demanding an improvement on last weekend’s loss to Liverpool and he is expecting the Blues to get the three points against the Baggies:

“Frank Lampard will have been disappointed with his team’s lacklustre display against Liverpool on Sunday when they were well beaten in a 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge. It may take some time for him to bed in all his new signings but he will be demanding a much-improved performance against the Baggies and I fancy a comfortable 3-0 win for the Blues.”

Considering West Brom have conceded eight in their first two league matches since returning to the Premier League, Owen’s prediction looks to be right on the money.

Especially after putting six past Barnsley in the Carabao Cup midweek, we should expect to see a fair few goals in this match, but supporters will be mindful of the fact that Chelsea have not looked that convincing in the league so far.

As Owen mentions, some of that is down to the number of players that need to be bedded in, and hopefully, Lampard can quickly find his best eleven and get his team firing on all cylinders.
