Sunday’s Premier League action kicks off at The Hawthorns as West Bromwich Albion host champions Chelsea.

Tony Pulis’ side currently sit in eighteenth place with the one point that they took from last weekend’s goalless draw at Watford.
They have won just one of their last five league games in front of their own fans, though that victory came against Chelsea in the penultimate game of last season.

Saido Berahino, who scored a brace in that win over Jose Mourinho’s men, is set to lead the line despite ongoing speculation surrounding his future while Venezuela international Salomon Rondon could be handed his first start and Serge Gnabry is in line for his debut after signing on loan from Arsenal.

Berahino is 11.0 (10/1) to open the scoring with a variety of firms, with Rickie Lambert a 12.0 (11/1) chance with Bet 365.

The home win is generously priced at 6.5 (11/2) with Bet 365, who have the draw at 4.0 (3/1) while the visitors can be backed at 1.67 (4/6) with a variety of firms.

The Blues also have just one point from six available and go into the game on the back of last weekend’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City – which incidentally was the outcome of their opponents meeting with City in the season’s opening round of games.

New signings Pedro and Baba Rahman could both make their debuts for the club after signing this week and Thibaut Courtois could return from suspension though Victor Moses and Oscar are out injured.

Diego Costa is favourite to open the scoring at 4.75 (15/4) with Bet 365, with Eden Hazard a 6.5 (11/2) chance with the same firm.

The Blues have failed to win on each of their last three visits to this ground, and have won just two of their last meetings with West Brom, home or away.

With this is mind, you may be tempted to back Chelsea not to win at 2.43 (10/7) with 888 Sport, while the hosts can be backed at 3.25 (9/4) to score first with Bet 365.
