WEST BROM go into the clash at Stamford Bridge with three wins in their last four games, but know they will be up against the league’s most fearful side.
A win at home on Sunday for the Blues would mean nine successive victories, but manager Antonio Conte will be desperate to let the Baggies carry the confidence with them into this clash.
Both teams won 3-1 last weekend, the Blues came out on top in their fiery encounter with Manchester City, while Tony Pulis’ men dispatched Watford with ease at the Hawthorns.
