GK: Thibaut Courtois
Chelsea’s number one this season after displacing Petr Cech, the talented young Belgian should continue between the sticks for this game.
DR: Branislav Ivanovic
A player in top form so far this season, Branislav Ivanovic will surely keep his place at right-back for the visit of West Brom.
DL: Cesar Azpilicueta
Despite the summer signing of Filipe Luis, Cesar Azpilicueta looks to have made the left-back slot his own for Chelsea and is likely to start again.
DC: John Terry
Rock solid for Chelsea so far this season, John Terry will be well rested after the international break and ready to lead the side this weekend.
DC: Gary Cahill
First choice partner for Terry in the Blues defence, Gary Cahill is surely going to be in action again for Mourinho’s side against West Brom.
MC: Nemanja Matic
One of Chelsea’s unsung heroes so far this season, Nemanja Matic must be an automatic starter for this game in the Blues midfield.
MC: Ramires
With news that Cesc Fabregas is carrying an injury and not certain to feature in this game, Ramires may be the best option alongside Matic as there’s no need to risk the Spanish playmaker.
AMR: Willian
Although Andre Schurrle should return from injury to play in this game, Willian will probably get the nod in the starting lineup in his usual right-hand side role.
AML: Eden Hazard
One of Chelsea’s best players, Eden Hazard is always one of the first names on the team sheet and should continue on the left flank here.
AMC: Oscar
A player in fine form, Chelsea’s usual number 10 Oscar should take his usual place behind the main striker for the visit of the Baggies.
FC: Diego Costa
Chelsea’s superb summer signing, Diego Costa has been in top goalscoring form this season and is fit to return for this game as he looks to continue his battle with Sergio Aguero for the Golden Boot.
