2011 English Premier League: EPL Preview Chelsea vs. West Bromwich Albion
Chelsea will host West Brom in the second week of EPL 2011/2012 at Stamford Bridge on 20th August. Last week, the Blues failed to open their account against Stoke City, drawing 0-0. West Brom’s impressive display proved inadequate as reigning champions Manchester United went one up on the Baggies with Steven Reid’s own goal sealing the fate of the match. Both sides will be vying to dominate the game from the start and put points on the board. Expect a thrilling match filled with tense moments right up till the final whistle.
2011 English Premier League Tips and Predictions – Pressure on Villas-Boas to deliver
New Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas will be hoping for a victory after a lacklustre performance in the starting match. He will be under much pressure to deliver and prove football experts right in their prediction that Chelsea will finish in the top three this EPL season. If the Blues do not live up to expectations, he could face the axe given that fact that owner Roman Abramovich does not tolerate underperformers gladly.
Elsewhere in the Blues camp, Fernando Torres will be at his best to silence critics who have lashed out at his uninspiring display following a move from Liverpool. And Villas-Boas will be pinning his hopes on the undoubtedly talented striker. The pressure to register a victory on home ground will also propel the Blues to strike with all their might.
2011 English Premier League Betting: Hodgson, the miracle worker
All credit to Roy Hodgson for strengthening the West Brom side and taking them to a respectable eleventh place finish last season. He has worked with the resources at hand to sign striker Shane Long for £7 million and added the goalkeeping abilities of Ben Foster to strengthen the side. Long was impressive against the Red Devils last week, getting past David de Gea with lots of confidence.

Goalkeeper Petr Cech’s injury will come as a blow for Chelsea, with Villas Boas having to choose between Hilario or Ross Turnbull for an adequate replacement. The manager may even decide to play new signing, 18-year old Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku. An impressive debut by Lukaku cannot be ruled out. But another new signing, midfielder Oriol Romeu, will most probably sit this one out. Daniel Sturridge’s suspension and David Luiz’s injury will see both players missing in action. The rest of the line-up will include star players Lampard, Cole, Drogba, Anelka, Malouda and Terry.
In the Baggies camp, Jerome Thomas and Peter Odemwingie look doubtful following thigh and ankle injuries respectively, though Odemwingie could get back on his feet more quickly, according to reports. However, Chelsea will need to watch out for the collective force of Chris Brunt, Shane Long and Somen Tchoyi to register a convincing victory at Stamford Bridge.
