Should be picking up another three points here.

 

West Brom haven't been on great form lately, but the loss against Newcastle must have hurt. They'll be out to prove a point.

 

Assuming Fabregas has fully recovered from his injury, I'd keep the same team that started against Liverpool, except bring on Willian for Ramires.

We struggled against them last season. We weren't able to pick up a victory in either of the games. Not to mention almost losing at home.

This year West Brom aren't as good and considering our form and the ability to scrape together wins against these kind of teams, I see us getting the 3 points comfortably.

Usual line up.

You two are too confident, it's going to backfire, so I'll have to even it out with some pessimism and say 2-2 draw, with us putting in a sh*t performance and getting lucky with a penalty.

Not going to be an easy match especially if Fabregas is out. Haven't seen much of West Brom but they seem to be a tight outfit away from home. Only 3 goals scored but just 5 goals conceded as well (2nd best in the league). 

No match is easy, people need to realise this.

Long way to go, with Internationals we may get some injuries so I'll refrain from picking line-ups, formations and predictions until closer to the time.

Whether they admit it publicly or not, they will be after revenge from what happened last year. We robbed them of 3 points.

Fortunately for us I think they are significantly weaker with Long gone.

Hope Ramires scores a hat-trick to really give them something to whinge about.

No game in the league is easy and as others have said, they'll want revenge. This for me is the type of match where we need Costa and Fabregas to really show up. Berahino is a livewire but I trust Matic and the defence to handle their attack, so it comes down to Fabregas, Oscar, Hazard and Costa getting that breakthrough. Only choice for me (if everyone is fit) is Schurrle or Willian. 

This is the type of game we slipped up in last season, not against the better sides, City, Arsenal or Liverpool, against whom we had a great record. We should win but taking them lightly is just asking for trouble.

Not playing much better or worse than the likes of Liverpool, Spurs and Everton, we'd be cautious going into games against those three and I see no reason not to be cautious playing WBA. 

 

These, more so than games against Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal are the ones we need to ensure we win.

 

We can't get complacent, we need to keep the momentum going. City play Swansea and Arsenal are hosting Manchester United on the same day we play so there's a very real possibility of team those sides dropping points and allowing us to extend our lead further. 

 

Southampton play Villa on the Monday so I think it's safe to say they'll be picking up 3 more points. 

Definitely not a side to take lightly. 8-0 I say.

I think it will be tough, we're usually abit rusty after an International Break aswell. I think it will be tight 2-1.

Lets hope we have all our lads healthy for this. These international breaks can really hurt our chances as almost all our lads play for their countries.

We'll see as though Fabregas is out, I hope we line up

Courtois

Ivan

Cahill

JT

Apzi

Matic

Rami

Oscar

Hazard

Costa

Willian

Hopefully Internationals will pass carefully and peacefully. We don't need injuries or tired players before this game.

 

Courtois

Ivanovic

Cahill

Terry

Azpi

Matic

Ramires

Willian

Oscar

Hazard

Costa

 

Best 11 players I can offer. Fabregas is kind of injuried, would be risky to play him. We're still on our winning line, we don't need any troubles on this level, we still got a long season to play. 3-0 will do good.

Wonder if they'll talk incessantly about the penalty we had against them last season?

 

Anyway, West Brom have been a tough nut for us to crack in recent years, but thankfully we're at home.

 

Don't think there'll be much in it...they could be the ones to end out unbeaten run

Wasn't it West Brom that ended Jose's undefeated at home record last season too?

Sunderland.

Wasn't it West Brom that ended Jose's undefeated at home record last season too?

No, they should have but they got cheated out of it.

Ace game

Going to be nervy this one, should win it though.

 

3-1 with West Brom netting first.

4-0.

 

Don't rate the manager.

No, they should have but they got cheated out of it.

 

I wouldn't say cheated. It was a questionable call but probably could have gone either way.

 

Usual line up with Rami for Fabregas. 2-0, Oscar, Costa.

We always suffer against this team. Can anybody remind me some easy win? 

 

But this time we should show them who is the boss. 4-0. 

Sure we beat them 6-0 at home? Didier hat trick I think?
