West Brom host Chelsea on Friday night knowing that the title could be wrapped up if they are beaten. That would leave Chelsea to celebrate in front of their own fans on Monday night, and given the quick turnaround, Antonio Conte would be forgiven for wanting a quick result.

The Baggies have tailed off as the season has begun to draw to a close, and while they currently sit in 8th place, they are 15 points behind Everton in 7th and just five above Watford in 15th. Things could change very quickly indeed with those numbers as they are.
With West Brom firing blanks in five of their last six outtings, it could be tempting to get involved on Chelsea, but at odds of 4/11 they simply cannot be value, so instead we'll try bacing Chelsea to follow up on the achievements of Liverpool, Southampton and Leicester in recent weeks, but winning by exactly one goal at 13/5 with Bet365.
We'll also look to the stats for corners and back there to be a real shortage on the night. West Brom home games have averaged 9.6 this season, while Chelsea away have seen 8.3 on average. That's a good bit lower than the league overall average of 10.3, and West Brom also tighten things up when playing against the bigger sides. In their matches at home against the big six, the corner tallies have been:
West Brom v Spurs = 13
West Brom v Man City = 8
West Brom v Man United = 5
West Brom v Arsenal = 9
West Brom v Liverpool = 8
Try backing under 9.5 at 11/10
