Champions Chelsea roll up to West Brom in this evening’s 8pm encounter as Jose Mourinho’s side look to continue a run which has seen them drop just two points in their previous seven road trips.

The main worry heading into this one was, of course, the extent of Mourinho’s rotation. Despite suggesting he was set to start a number of youngsters, the Chelsea manager keeps faith in his big-hitters for the Hawthorns, with Diego Costa returning to lead the line and the likes of Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas, John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic all named in the XI. In total, Mourinho makes three changes from the Liverpool match, then, with Costa, Nemanja Matic and Gary Cahill replacing Willian, John Obi Mikel and Kurt Zouma.

With a single goal conceded in their last four, though, the Baggies’ return to resilient ways has been key to clinching their top-flight survival for another season. Tony Pulis also makes three alterations to his starting XI, as James Morrison, Callum McManaman and Saido Berahino come in for Youssuf Mulumbu, Craig Gardner and Victor Anichebe.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

  18. seanie3
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    anyone else think that courtois could of and should have saved the last two goals, got a late hand to both but should be doing better than that..

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

    1. Ziro Becomes One
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Truly brave move. Earned it.

      1. TuttiFrutti
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        hehe 😉 a little luck though, but looking at b jones stats, attacking wise is really good. so was a descent move, imo. Also frees up cash to do hendo>silva next week. Silva who's been my nemesis this whole season...

        1. Ziro Becomes One
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Imo Silva not good as a one week punt. He is a season keeper type.
          Get Young or Matty Phillips

          1. TuttiFrutti
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            no, Im all about ML and both rivals have him, so gonna try to lock up the win. don't care about OR atm

    2. Sp0rting
      • 10 Years

      You missed the deadline, didn't you?

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        No.

        Didn't fancy any Sunderland mids and no other transfers worth doing so figured I'd save it for 2 for final GW of the season.

        Then toyed between playing Huth as 4th defender or Brunt as 4th midfielder. Guess I made the right choice.

  28. Sp0rting
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    All building up nicely to a Terry goal.

  29. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
