Following a brief international break,
Premier League football is back. Thomas Tuchel’s side host a struggling West
Brom.
In the Blues’ last league outing, Tuchel’s men drew away to
Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United.
A win against West Brom could see Chelsea move to just two points
off third-placed Leicester City.
The Blues are back in league action following the international
break.
With big games coming up, it is vital that Tuchel’s side pick up
all three points against the Baggies.
As for West Brom, they currently sit 19th in the league standings
and are ten points behind 17th placed Newcastle United.
Mendy; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger;
James, Jorginho, Kovacic, Chilwell; Werner, Mount, Havertz
Thiago Silva is available for selection after a recent thigh
problem which has kept him sidelined. But whether Tuchel will look to alter his
back-line to bring Silva back into the fold, remains to be seen.
Andreas Christensen, Antonio Rudiger and Cesar Azpilicueta
will all be itching to start for the Blues on Sunday.
Mateo Kovacic has continued to impress
under the new manager. The Croatian will be itching to start against West Brom.
N’Golo Kante has been ruled out of the league clash
following a hamstring injury picked up on international duty.
Mason Mount caught the eye of many whilst on duty for
England. Mount is another who will be bursting to start.
Kai Havertz has impressed the Chelsea faithful in recent
times. With the German struggling for form and fitness at the start of the
season, Havertz is now starting to show the fans why the Blues paid big money
for his services.
