How Chelsea’s Tactics Should Put A Lot Of Pressure On Manchester City

The Way The Game Shaped Up-

West Brom will face Chelsea on Saturday at Hawthorns in the 12th round of match of the Premier League. Both teams will try to win the match due to different reasons. The positions of the two teams in the League Table are also very much different as West Brom are fighting to avoid the relegation while Chelsea are fighting to close the gap with Manchester City.

 

West Brom are currently situated at the 16th place in the League Table with 10 Points from 11 encounters so far in the Premier League. They had lost the previous encounter against Huddersfield Town with a margin of 1-0. They will he be keen to get at least one point from this difficult match against Chelsea to boost up their confidence level for the rest of the season.

 

Chelsea are currently situated at the 4th position in the League Table with 19 Points from 11 encounters so far. The win against Manchester United with a brilliant goal of Alvaro Morata had given them the mental boost up that was much required. They will be keen to get a win here to be in the top four positions in the Premier League.

Editor’s View: Must Win Match

After Spurs lost to Arsenal, it becomes important that Chelsea win this one and keep pushing upwards and cut down the gap between them and City. If they drop any points in the match, the advantage at the top of the table will be thrown back again in the Citizens court.

The Blues are leading by 3 goals to nil, thus far and it should be a piece of cake now, with City leading Leicester by a single goal.
