Chelsea – West Brom : Preview & Prediction
Faced with the red lantern, Chelsea, 4th, sees the ideal opportunity to revive after a series of poor performances. The Blues are going through a complicated period since the end of January and have their lead over Tottenham, 5th, and Arsenal, 6th, melt like snow in the sun. Antonio Conte’s players have recorded 3 defeats in their last 4 games. Eliminated by Arsenal (2-1) in League Cup, the London club has still qualified in the FA Cup with a success on Newcastle (3-0). A qualification that was not followed by success since Eden Hazard’s partners stumbled in the Premier League against Bournemouth (0-3) at Stamford Bridge and Watford (4-1) last Monday. West Bromwich, late last 4 points behind the 17th, knows the same fate as Chelsea. The Baggies have just lost to Manchester City (3-0) and lastly to Southampton (2-3). This move in the capital promises to be most perilous for the band in Pardew.
Chelsea, 6th home record: 8 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses.
WBA, 19th away record: 1 win, 4 draws, 8 defeats.
Chelsea dominates the debates with 4 wins and 1 draw in their last 5 games.
In the first leg, the Blues had largely imposed 4 goals to 0 on the field of Baggies.
West Bromwich Albion suffers away: current series of 4 draws and 8 losses in the last 12 trips.
Chelsea has no choice but to win on the grass in front of the WBA red lantern. A new disappointment would plunge the club in London in the crisis.
