Team News: Thievy Bifouma gets first start for West Bromwich Albion

Thievy Bifouma is handed a first start for West Bromwich Albion as they take on Chelsea in the Premier League.

Thievy Bifouma makes his first start for West Bromwich Albion as they take on Chelsea at The Hawthorns this evening.

The striker, who joined on loan from Espanyol, made a goalscoring debut off the bench against Crystal Palace, and is rewarded for that with a place in the starting XI.

However, Billy Jones is out with a knee problem, so Steven Reid comes in. Morgan Amalfitano and Saido Berahino are also back in the team.

For Chelsea, Ramires replaces Frank Lampard, while Fernando Torres returns to the bench after three weeks out.

West Bromwich Albion: Foster; Reid, McAuley, Dawson, Ridgewell, Yacob; Amalfitano, Morrison, Brunt; Thievy, Berahino.

Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, D Luiz, Azpilicueta; Ramires, Matic; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Eto'o
