Venue: The Hawthorns (26445 seats)

Only a few games have been played in the Premier League so far, with West Bromwich Albion placed 20th and Chelsea sitting in the 11th position.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

West Bromwich Albion form and stats

West Bromwich Albion's first Premier League home game here at The Hawthorns ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 10 draws and 3 defeats from 23 matches.

WBA are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-5 away versus Everton. Previous to that game, a Carabao Cup home match hosting Harrogate Town in a game that was won 3-0.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Early season league goal statistics from West Bromwich Albion's 1 home game: 0 goals, 3 conceded.

Chelsea form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Premier League, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 9 wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats from 19 matches.

Chelsea failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Liverpool (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 0-2. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-1 at Brighton & Hove Albion.

3 goals so far away for Chelsea, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): WBA won one game, three matches ended with a draw and Chelsea has six wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four
