THE PREDICTION
With seven successive clean sheets under their belts and 14 matches unbeaten in all competitions, the Thomas Tuchel bandwagon shows no signs of slowing down. The Chelsea head coach has overseen a revolution that has now brought his side into the top four of the Premier League, with places secured in both the Champions League quarter-finals and the FA Cup semi-finals. West Brom in contrast are Championship bound bar a minor miracle, with the Baggies in 19th-place and ten points behind 17th-placed Newcastle. West Brom have struggled desperately finding in the net in recent fixtures, failing to score in their last three league games and against a Blues side so strong at the back under Tuchel, it would be a huge surprise if Sam Allardyce’s men were to find the net. Providing they avoid any kind of complacency against the visitors, a Chelsea win alongside an eighth straight clean sheet should prove comfortable to acquire.
