Live online English Premier League match between Chelsea Vs West Brom

Chelsea look to start with a win for Premiership Title defense

Chelsea FC begins the defense of their English Premiership Title at Stamford Bridge against West Brom in the major game of the day at the opening of the premiership season for 2010.

Current West Brom boss Roberto Di Matteo expects Chelsea to be on fire as they look to begin the season on usual note, with the Londoners not having failed to win their opening game in the

last eight seasons.

Di Matteo was part of the playing squad at Stamford Bridge that year when the Blues failed to win their first league game, but the Italian knows the transformation Stamford Bridge has seen

and the capabilities of the Chelsea Squad.

But Chelsea’s poor performance against Manchester United in the Community Shield will be a consolidation for West Brom who will fancy the current poor defense form of Chelsea to hope for a result against the English League Champions.

Chelsea Italian Coach Carlo Anceloti will have to decide whether to play key striker Didier Drogba and inspirational goalkeeper Petre Chec who are recovering from injury but less on match fitness.
