Match Predictions and Betting Odds
Chelsea’s last Premier League Game
In their last league match, Chelsea subjected Liverpool to their fifth successive loss at home via a stunning goal by Mason Mount, a curler into the bottom corner of the Liverpool goal on 42 minutes. The scoreline would have been better still if Chelsea’s forward Timo Werner had not had a goal disallowed via VAR for offside by the slimmest of margins. The result helped push Chelsea into the top four on the points table, 11 points clear of defending champions, Liverpool.
West Brom Albion’s Last Premier League Game
West Brom lost 0-1 to Everton at home in their last league game. With no goal up until 63 minutes, the match appeared to be heading for a draw. On 64 minutes, Gylfi Sigurdsson, introduced as substitute for Abdoulaye Doucoure, took a corner. He flicked in a perfect cross for Richarlison to power home with a header. West Brom were unlucky not to have an equaliser in the final seconds when a goal was ruled out by VAR.
Last Match Between West Brom Albion and Chelsea
On 26 September 2020, West Brom hosted Chelsea at the Hawthorns. They went 2-0 up thanks to a brace of goals by Callum Robinson in the first half. At the break, Albion led 3-0 after Kyle Bartley scored a third. After a woeful showing in the first half, Chelsea fought back after the break. Mason Mount scored on 55 minutes to pull a goal back. After substitute Callum Hudson-Odoi had scored to make it 3-2, Tammy Abraham got into the act with a late equaliser to help Chelsea take away a point from the game.
