West Brom look far less likely to trouble Chelsea this time around

It looks a relatively straightforward task for Chelsea against West Brom on Saturday.

The Baggies put up a fight on their last visit to Stamford Bridge, where a controversial late penalty saw the Blues rescue a point and draw 2-2.

But we at BetVictor don’t expect lightning to strike twice – we reckon the hosts will be comfortable this time.

Chelsea return from the international break relatively unscathed on the injury front and look ready to push on and clinch the title.

Jose Mourinho’s side have oozed class thus far and head the market as 1/5 favourites to be crowned champions after a spectacular unbeaten start to the campaign.

They are 6/1 to go through the entire Premier League season unbeaten and have ticked off their four most difficult fixtures outside of the capital, having taken eight points from both trips to Manchester and Merseyside respectively.

Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 14 league matches and that is almost certain to be extended at the weekend.

Mourinho’s men are 1/4 favourites with BetVictor, West Brom 14s and the draw 4/1.

Diego Costa has netted 10 goals in nine league appearances this season and can add to that tally further.

The Chelsea striker is 5/2 to score the opener, 6/1 to score in both halves and 9/1 to score a second hat-trick of the season.

Manchester City look to be Chelsea’s only possible threat and both appear likely to secure a further three points apiece at the weekend.

BetVictor have a terrific offer for new customers, with the double enhanced to 3/1 from 4/6 – fill your boots, with City 4/11 favourites when hosting Swansea at the Liberty Stadium and Chelsea surely too strong for Albion.
