Chelsea host West Brom looking to arrest the slide which has seen them lose back-to-back games by a three-goal margin for the first time since October 1995. The west Londoners went down 3-0 at home to Bournemouth two weeks ago, and despite a late equaliser by Eden Hazard, ended up being overpowered last week at Vicarage Road late on to come away 4-1 losers.
The Blues have only one win in their last five, with an indifferent start to 2018 posing a serious threat to their top-four hopes, and with the added caveat of a last-16 European clash against Barcelona looming next week.
