West Brom vs Chelsea - LIVE!

Frank Lampard's side returned to Premier League action on Saturday evening in a six-goal thriller at The Hawthorns.

Looking to get back on track following last weekend's defeat by Liverpool, the Blues endured a miserable first half as errors from Marcos Alonso and Thiago Silva plus some more suspect set-piece defending saw them trail 3-0 at the interval.

However, Tammy Abraham netted at the death after earlier goals from Mason Mount and substitute Callum Hudson-Odoi to snatch a last-gasp point for Chelsea.

Prediction: West Brom 1-3 Chelsea

The Blues need time to gel with all their new signings, but West Brom are in disarray at the moment and the visitors should make light work of Bilic's side - and don't bet against it being a rout.

As delighted as Frank Lampard will be with the 6-0 demolition of Barnsley in the Carabao Cup, he has already overseen this kind of form before, when Chelsea take teams apart before losing focus.

After spending so much money during the summer, that part of the team’s character has clearly got to change, otherwise Chelsea will continue to veer between potent and porous.

Thiago Silva has been brought in for this precise reason and his influence in the dressing room has already been felt.

Though he doesn’t speak much English yet, the Brazilian’s high standards should speak for themselves.
