Strongest Chelsea Line-up That Can Tear West Brom Apart – Willian In Wings, Oscar As CAM

Chelsea Predicted Line-up vs. West Bromwich Albion.

Last season, Chelsea struggled in the two matches against West Brom, one which they narrowly managed to draw at Stamford Bridge. West Brom have been a team that have troubled Chelsea in the past, and in the tricky November month, Chelsea would have to ensure that they maintain the tempo of their campaign and register a comfortable win against average Premier League teams like West Brom. Almost all Chelsea players have been well rested despite their international involvement and would be expected to be at their best when they meet the visitors. Here is the predicted line-up that can easily beat West Brom,

Goalkeeper and Defence

Goalkeeper: Thibaut Courtois

As has been the trend, the young Belgian has been the consistent first choice and would be expected to continue in his role.

Right Back: Branislav Ivanovic

Ivanovic has been a key component of Chelsea’s defence and has been an important player offensively as well, as he has two goals to his name. He has been playing well in Chelsea’s consistent attacking style and would be expected to deal with the directness of West Brom players.

Center Back: Gary Cahill

Cahill is certain to start as he has been one of Chelsea’s most important players since last season. His partnership with John Terry has been strong and would have to negate the threat offered by Berahino and Sessegnon.

Center Back: John Terry

The skipper would be raring to go after a well deserved break. Despite his age and lack of speed, Terry has been a vital defensive player with his game reading and organizing skills.

Left Back: Cesar Azpilicueta

The industrious Spaniard is likely to start instead of Brazilian left-back Filipe Luis. This is a position where there are two top defenders available for selection. Since Azpilicueta has been the first choice since last season’s successful defensive displays, he is the natural first choice this season.

Midfield and Attack

Defensive Midfield: Nemanja Matic

He has been one of Chelsea’s best performers this season. He has been extremely consistent in his displays and offers great stability and power to Chelsea’s midfield. He is widely regarded has the best defensive midfielder in the Premier League.

Central Midfield: Cesc Fabregas

Matic will be partnered in the double pivot by Fabregas who was rested during the international break so as to return in time for the Premier League action. Fabregas has been in top form this season, already assisting 9 goals in the league.

Central Attacking Midfield: Oscar

Oscar has been in great form this season, with his consistent displays. He adds flair, technique and industry in attacking midfield and engineers the box to box functions that the team requires. He is versatile as well, meaning he can adjust to playing deeper or wider.

Right Midfield: Willian

Brazilian Willian is likely to start at Right Midfield as Schurrle is re-building his fitness and would most likely be sitting this game out or play as a substitute. Willian has not been consistent with his attacking displays though defensively, he has been a top runner.

Left Midfield: Eden Hazard

The Belgian attacker is certain to start the game. He has been a great influence to Chelsea’s attack this season as he has the knack to create chances from scratch with his unbelievable dribbling and trickery. One would want the star to be clinical in his finishing as he has been missing some easy chances in the past few games, which if accomplished, can make him one of the most complete attackers in the world.

Striker: Diego Costa

After a well deserved rest during the international break, the aggressive Chelsea striker would be hungrier for more goals. He already has 10 in the league, 2 behind leader Aguero. That should be some motivation for personal glory as Chelsea fans would expect Costa to be at his lethal best.
