West Brom vs Chelsea team news: Cesc Fabregas keeps starting spot ahead of N'Golo Kante in unchanged side

James Benge12 May 2017

Cesc Fabregas has retained his place in the Chelsea lineup ahead of N’Golo Kante as the Blues look to clinch the title at West Brom tonight.

PFA and FWA Player of the Year Kante missed Monday’s 3-0 win over Middlesbrough with a thigh injury, only the second time he has sat out a league game for Chelsea this season.

Despite having Kante back to fitness Antonio Conte has opted to continue with Fabregas, the man of the match against Middlesbrough on Monday, in an unchanged side.

West Brom boss Tony Pulis has made one change from the side that drew 2-2 at Burnley last week, with Allan Nyom replacing Marc Wilson.

Chelsea will win the Premier League title with a victory at the Hawthorns. The Blues have won all but six of the 21 meetings between these two in the competition.

West Brom starting XI: Foster; Dawson, McAuley, Evans, Nyom; Brunt, Livermore, Fletcher, Field, McClean; Rondon
Subs: Myhill, M Wilson, Yacob, Morrison, Chadli, Leko, Robson-Kanu

Chelsea starting XI: Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill; Moses, Matic, Fabregas, Alonso; Pedro, Diego Costa, Hazard
Subs: Begovic, Zouma, Terry, Ake, Kante, Willian, Batshuayi
