West Bromwich

West Brom returned to the Premier League from second place in the Championship, where they managed to win 22 wins in 46 rounds and tied 17 times. The failure at the finish of the season is due to the accumulated fatigue, which struck the team in the last four rounds, where the "bags" have never won.

It is impossible not to note the line of attack of the "thrush", which hit the gates of the opponents 77 times.

Start in the Premier League for West Brom came out unsuccessful, they got two fiascoes in a row from Leicester (0:3) and Everton (2:5). In the League Cup Slaven Bilic's wards faced another setback, that’s a defeat to the modest Brentford (2: 3 pins) in the 1/16 finals.

Gibbs, Zohore, Ivanovic and Hegazi will not be able to enter the field today.

Chelsea

Chelsea moved up to fourth place last season. For 38 rounds the "pensioners" won 20 victories and finished six fights in peace. The weakest link was the line of defense, which conceded 54 goals, which is the worst indicator of the top ten in the league.

In the first match of the new championship the Blues beat Brighton (3:1), but in the next match they lost to Liverpool (0:2). In the English League Cup at home they did not leave any chances for Barnsley (6:0), for which we made a forecast.

Among the newcomers to the team, it is worth noting the transfer of such stars to Frank Lampard's charges as Kai Havertz for 80 million from Bayer Leverkusen, Timo Werner from RB Leipzig (53 million) and Ben Chilwell from Leicester (50 million).

In the infirmary of guests are Van Ginkel, Gilmour, Ziyech, Christensen and Pulisic.
