There have been more enjoyable Chelsea matches to watch this season than the 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion. It was not as thrilling and open-ended as the 3-1 victory at Manchester City, nor was it as gleefully indulgent as the 4-0 humbling of Manchester United or the 5-0 evisceration of Everton. But the win on Sunday was perhaps the most satisfying of the lot coming as it did against particularly obdurate opponents.
All of the other teams mentioned above met Chelsea with the intent of imposing their own game on the Blues, focusing on their own strengths rather than worrying about the opposition.
