With the title already in their grasp, the Blues look to end the season on a high. After embarking on a 15-match unbeaten run in the league following a shock 5-3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on New Year’s Day, Jose Mourinho’s side clinched the title following a 1-0 win against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge. They come into this fixture following a 1-1 draw against Liverpool, which ended the Merseyside club’s hopes of securing a top four berth.
WBA were looming towards relegation places in mid-April following five losses in six matches. But Tony Pulis’ side secured top flight safety by grabbing eight out of 12 points from the last four matches. The Baggies too come into this fixture following a 1-1 draw against Newcastle United. On paper, this is a dead rubber but points and pride are at stake.
In what is a shocking record, Chelsea have failed to beat West Brom in the last three meetings at the Hawthorns. Will Jose Mourinho be able to change that feat?
