| 13.01.16 | PL | Chelsea | West Brom | 2 : 2 | |
Prediction
West Brom didn’t have the best start to the season, given they were defeated in two Premier League matches, conceding eight goals. And not only that, then they lost by Brentford on Tuesday and got kicked out of the Carabao Cup.
Chelsea also have played poorly against Liverpool, but then they got their confidence back with a 6-0 win over Barnsley on Wednesday.
Chelsea was victorious the last four times these two clubs met and without conceding a goal, too, so it seems like that might happen again here.
