Key match stats (supplied by Opta)

West Bromwich Albion have lost 16 games against Chelsea in the Premier League, their joint-highest total against an opponent alongside Arsenal and Manchester City.

After failing to win in four visits to the Hawthorns between 2012-2015 (W0 D1 L3), Chelsea have since won back to back games there, including last May when Michy Batshuayi scored to seal the title in a 1-0 victory.

This will be Antonio Conte’s 50th Premier League game in charge of Chelsea, with the reigning champions winning more points (115) than any other side since the start of last season.

Conte has the best win percentage of any permanent Chelsea manager in league history (75.5 per cent).

Chelsea won the Premier League title following victory at West Brom last season

Chelsea have won nine of their last 11 away games in the Premier League, losing 0-2 at Old Trafford in April and 1-2 Selhurst Park in October.

West Bromwich Albion have lost all 11 of their previous Premier League home matches against reigning champions, with an aggregate score of 8-28.

The Baggies have won just twice in their last 20 Premier League games (W2 D6 L12) and are winless in their last nine.

Only against Man City (13) has Tony Pulis lost more Premier League games as a manager than versus Chelsea (12).

Alvaro Morata has been directly involved in 10 goals in his first 10 Premier League games for Chelsea (seven goals, three assists) – only Diego Costa (11) had more goal involvements in his first 10 for the club.

Morata has won more points with his goals and assists in the Premier League this season than any other player (8).

Cesar Azpilicueta has assisted Morata five times in the Premier League this season, more than any player has assisted another in 2017-18 so far. Indeed, only Cesc Fabregas to Diego Costa (6 in 14-15) and Frank Lampard to Didier Drogba (6 in 09-10) have seen a higher partnership in a Premier League Season for Chelsea than Azpilicueta to Morata this season.
