Preview: West Bromwich Albion vs. Chelsea

Sports Mole looks ahead to Tuesday's Premier League meeting between West Bromwich Albion and Chelsea at The Hawthorns.

Chelsea can keep their Premier League title challenge alive tomorrow when they travel to The Hawthorns to face West Bromwich Albion.

The Blues are currently one point clear at the top of the table thanks to an unbeaten run of 11 games.

Their most recent victory came on Saturday with a comfortable 3-0 triumph at home to Newcastle United.

Meanwhile, the Baggies find themselves one point adrift of safety in the relegation zone following five games without a win.

Pepe Mel's side suffered their 10th defeat of the season on Saturday with a 3-1 loss at fellow strugglers Crystal Palace.

Stephane Sessegnon and Nicolas Anelka remain sidelined for the hosts, but Jonas Olsson could return to the squad following a hamstring problem.

John Terry is expected to be absent again for the visitors after being left out of their win over Newcastle due to a muscle strain.

Striker Fernando Torres is likely to miss out as well for the Blues, as he recovers from a knee injury.
