Chelsea will play West Brom on Monday in the English Premier League, with the newly crowned EPL champions looking to sign off their season in style. West Brom meanwhile are safe, and can play with freedom knowing that they are not under threat from the drop. Today's game has a kick off time of 8 p.m. BST (3 p.m. ET) and can be watched online through NBCS live stream via the link provided below.
Ahead of today's game, Blues boss Jose Mourinho is expected to make numerous changes to his starting line up to give some of the other players in the Chelsea squad a run out.
A few months ago, many looked at this fixture and highlighted it as a potentially explosive tie, with West Brom likely to come into the game needing points to guarantee their safety from relegation, and the Blues likely fighting for the Premier League title.
However, as it turns out, both teams have accomplished everything they could have hoped for in advance of today's game.
Chelsea are already crowned as the Premier League champs, where as West Brom have secured 41 points from their 36 games and are already safe from the drop.
Coming into today's game, West Brom are undefeated in three games against the Blues at the Hawthorns.
Of those three games, the Baggies have won two and drawn one, and have a surprisingly good record agains the West London club.
In the last six encounters between Chelsea and West Brom, the spoils are split straight down the middle, with Chelsea winning two, West Brom winning two, and there being two draws.
One area that Mourinho's men may look to exploit is West Brom's weakness from set pieces. The Baggies have conceded a league high of 20 goals from set pieces this season, and that is an area that Chelsea have been traditionally strong at.
In attack though, West Brom also are one of the most successful from set pieces, having scored 20 from dead ball positions this season. Only Arsenal, with 21 goals from set pieces, have scored more.
However, they may struggle to penetrate this Chelsea defence, as Chelsea are undefeated in their last 16 Premier League matches, winning 11 and drawing 5.
