ANTONIO CONTE’S side can make it nine wins in a row if they can defeat Tony Pulis‘ West Brom side who are high on confidence.
A 3-1 win against Watford last week meant West Brom finished the weekend sitting in seventh spot, but know they will have to be at the top of their game to even snatch a point away at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are also on the back of a 3-1 win, they put a dent in Manchester City’s title hopes as they scored three second half goals in a fiery encounter at the Etihad Stadium.
Goals from Diego Costa, Willian and Eden Hazard secured their place at the top of the league after a Gary Cahill own goal left the Citizens 1-0 up at half-time.
