Chelsea come up against a West Brom side on Saturday looking for their third consecutive Premier League win.

Chelsea travel to the Hawthorns on Saturday with West Bromwich aiming for their third consecutive Premier League win.

An impressive 4-0 win against Sunderland last weekend will have filled the Baggies with confidence, while the Blues ended a four-game winless streak with a 3-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers.

Fernando Torres is expected to start in attack for the visitors after Didier Drogba pulled out of the Ivory Coast squad earlier this week with a knee injury.

John Terry is still missing, but Daniel Sturridge is expected to be fit after he bruised his toe on international duty for England against the Netherlands on Wednesday night.

Chris Brunt could be on the bench for the hosts following an eight-week absence with a fractured ankle. Keith Andrews, who has scored twice in his last two games, is expected to keep his place in midfield.

Current form:

West Brom: LWDLWW
Chelsea: WDDDLW

Possible lineups:

West Brom:
Foster; Reid, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell; Andrews, Scharner, Morrison, Odemwingie, Thomas; Fortune

Chelsea:
Cech; Cole, Luiz, Cahill, Ivanovic; Ramires, Essien, Lampard, Mata, Sturridge; Torres

Sports Mole says: 1-2
