West Brom vs Chelsea preview

Steve Clarke will be delighted with his move away from Liverpool during Summer. The Brit was Kenny Dalglish's assistant last season,but he has started his career at The Hawthorns in an impressive form. West Bromwich Albion are currently placed 5th on the EPL standings while Chelsea are 2 positions ahead of them.

The two teams will slug it out in an important game on Saturday. Chelsea have not won any of their last three EPL games. The reigning FA cup champions played draws against Swansea and Liverpool and they were also beaten by Manchester United at the Stamford Bridge.

The 'Bues' must win their away game if they want to remain in contention for the EPL top spot that is being held by Manchester United and closely followed by Man City.

Fernando Torres must deliver against the compact defence line of West Brom. Eden Hazard,Oscar and Mata must also come to the party on the d-day. The trio were not impressive in last Sunday's draw against Liverpool.

On the other hand, Peter Odemwingie and his team mates must be denied much time on the ball on Saturday. The Nigerian striker scored a brace not too long ago. Shane Long is another attacking threat that Mikel Obi and the Chelsea back four must keep under close watch.

Our prediction: West Bromwich Albion2-3 Chelsea
