West Bromwich Albion losing only 1 of the last six, but drawing 4 of them. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 in the wrong end.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been an indifferent run of form for the Baggies of late, and things are not going to improve with the visit of Chelsea, who one believes will win this game handsomely. Away win
