Pedro starts for Chelsea, Mikel, Anichebe on bench again

 Pedro makes his Chelsea debut. The new signing comes straight into the starting line-up to play with Willian and Eden Hazard as attacking support to Diego Costa.

In defence, Kurt Zouma starts alongside John Terry with Gary Cahill on the bench. The familiar pairing of Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic is in midfield with Thibaut Courtois in goal.

New left-back Baba Rahman is not involved.

West Brom begin with the team that finished their last game. Striker Saido Berahino is absent so the Baggies attack is led by freshly signed Venezuelan Salomon Rondon.


Chelsea are expected to line up in the following 4-2-3-1 formation:
Courtois; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry (c), Azpilicueta; Fabregas, Matic; Pedro, Willian, Hazard; Diego Costa.
Subs: Begovic, Cahill, Loftus-Cheek, Mikel, Traore, Falcao, Remy .

West Brom are expected to line-up in the following 4-5-1 formation:
Myhill; Dawson, McAuley, Olsson, Brunt; McManaman, Morrison, Fletcher (c), Yacob, McClean; Rondon.
Subs: Rose, Chester, Lescott, Gardner, Gnabry, Anichebe, Lambert.

The referee is Mark Clattenburg.
