West Brom vs Chelsea Betting Tips and Odds

Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:

West Brom are at 9/2 to win, a draw is at 16/5, and a Chelsea win is at 11/20.

It's been a weird time for the Blues from Chelsea, but they are still very much favored whenever they take on the Baggies.  They had a big loss in Rome before a huge win over United last time out, continuing their up and down form.

But they will be confident of a win here as the Baggies have not been good against the defending champions here recently.  They have lost 11 straight home matches to them, and they have been outscored 28 to eight in those games.

Chelsea clinched the title at the Hawthorns last season by winning their back-to-back years. This is a big deal because they failed to win in the four meetings there before that, showing that they now seem to have the hang of winning in the Midlands.

This will mark the 50th appearance in the Chelsea dugout for Antonio Conte. He has picked up more points than any other manager since he began his tenure last season.

West Brom vs Chelsea Prediction

Chelsea gets their win away from home.

Correct Score Prediction: West Brom 0-2 Chelsea

Team News

Tony Pulis will continue to be without right back Craig Dawson until Christmas due to a knee injury, while center midfielder James Morrison could be set for a return.

Key Man

Things have never once looked this bleak for Pulis in his managerial career, and it's interesting to note that for the most part his West Brom side have been much more expansive than any team he's been at the helm of before. This isn't just the defensive juggernaut of years gone by at Stoke. People think it is all about set pieces, but he has Jay Rodriguez up front to lead the line.  The 28 year old is still easing his way back in after a long-term injury, but he two goals this season and is looking better with each passing week.

Team Form

WBA have three losses and two draws in their last five matches:

1-0 loss at Huddersfield
2-3 home loss vs Manchester City
1-0 loss at Southampton
1-1 draw at Leicester
2-2 home draw vs Watford

West Brom Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 3-5-2

Team News

Antonio Conte looks set to have a full side as wing back Victor Moses is set to return any day now.

Key Man

Alvaro Morata has had seven goals and three assists in his first ten PL matches for Chelsea, a feat that only Diego Costa surpasses with eleven total involvements. This number is huge for him and his club as they look to climb up the table and finish as high as they can. The Spaniard is a little bit different player than Costa is, but he has proven to be just as effective. He has done very well so far, and he gives the Blues class and power in one frame.

Team Form

Chelsea have four wins and a loss in their last five matches:

1-0 home win vs Manchester United
3-0 loss at Roma (UCL)
0-1 win at Bournemouth
2-1 home win vs Everton (EFL Cup)
4-2 home win vs Watford

Chelsea Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 3-4-3

For the first time in our memory, Tony Pulis is seemingly on the edge for the Baggies. The manager has never been relegated from the Premier League, and if left in charge, we're convinced he wouldn't be this term. But West Brom have bigger ideas, and he's not giving them those ideas, making him at stake for the time being. A trip by the champions probably isn't the best fixture possible at this point, but it also represents a chance for him and his side to lay down a marker and show why he should remain in charge. It will be a tight affair, but the visiting Blues are the ones that should be winning it.

West Brom have lost their last 11 matches at home to the reigning champions.
