West Bromwich Albion vs Chelsea Match Preview
Liverpool's Luis Suarez left Chelsea pondering after last Sunday’s eventful clash. Not only did the Uruguayan talisman rule out John Terry with a serious challenge, he also netted a vital equalizer to cut points for the Blues.
With the 1-1 draw, Roberto Di Matteo’s outfit fell from the second to the third position in the English Premier League. Manchester United will not play until 17:30 on Saturday. The setting of the fixtures means that the Blues could temporarily reclaim the top spot; that is if they defeat West Bromwich Albion.
Despite the financial and player quality differences that exist between both sides, the current English Premier League standings say otherwise. West Brom are only four points and two places below the reigning FA Cup champions. After successfully going past Wigan Athletic, the Baggies will be looking to clinch a positive result at home where they last defeated Southampton 2-0.
Meanwhile, in their last away fixture in the EPL, Chelsea claimed nothing more than a draw. That was against Swansea City. Adding to the psychological impact surrounding Saturday’s fixture is what happened the last time West Bromwich Albion hosted the Blues.
The game ended 1-0 for the hosts. It turned out to be Andre Villas-Boas’ last match in charge of the London club. Eventually, it paved the way for Roberto Di Matteo who remarkably turned Chelsea’s fortunes around. This weekend’s, the goal will be to combat West Bromwich Albion and possibly kick out Manchester United from the summit of the Premiership table. Will this happen?
