Chelsea predicted line up for trip to West Brom.
A Chelsea predicted line up for this Sunday’s game away to West Bromwich Albion, with the Blues in urgent need of their first three points of the season…
GK: Thibaut Courtois
Back from suspension after his red card against Swansea, Thibaut Courtois will surely replace Asmir Begovic in goal this weekend.
DR: Cesar Azpilicueta
With Branislav Ivanovic in such poor form, it is widely expected that Cesar Azpilicueta will be used at right-back for this game, a role he has played in to good effect before.
DL: Baba Rahman
Signed from Augsburg this week, Baba Rahman is surely set for a quick debut for the Blues against West Brom, bringing more pace on the left flank.

DC: John Terry
One bad game surely won’t end his Chelsea career, and we fully expect John Terry will be leading the Blues out again this weekend at the Hawthorns.
DC: Gary Cahill
First choice to partner Terry, Gary Cahill should continue at centre-back for Chelsea for this potentially tricky game.
MC: Nemanja Matic
Starting in his usual defensive midfield role, Nemanja Matic will be an important player in this fixture and will need to be at his best.
MC: Ramires
Starting again this week, Ramires comes in alongside Matic in central midfield in the continued absence of fellow countryman Oscar.
AMR: Pedro
Signed from Barcelona this week, Pedro could make his Chelsea debut against West Brom and will be hoping to make an impact on the right-hand side.
AML: Eden Hazard
Yet to get going this season, one feels Eden Hazard will surely get another chance to start and work his magic for Chelsea as they search for their first win.
AMC: Cesc Fabregas
In a more advanced role than usual to replace Oscar, Cesc Fabregas will need to improve and will hope to strike up an instant understanding with his old team-mate Pedro.
FC: Diego Costa
First choice to lead the line, Diego Costa should start again this weekend but will need to play much better and start getting among the goals.
