Chelsea are aiming to get back on track in the Premier League when West Brom come to Stamford Bridge on Saturday. The Blues are now five points behind leaders Arsenal due to a 2-0 defeat at Newcastle last week. Mourinho's men responded in the Champions League on Wednesday by recording a 3-0 win over Schalke.
On the other hand West Brom have picked up just three victories from 10 league matches so far this season, but they managed to end a frustrating three-match winless streak by beating Crystal Palace 2-0 last week. The last win at Stamford Bridge for West Brom was in 1984 and no less than 35 years have passed since the Baggies managed a league win at the Blues.
The last time the two teams met at Stamford Bridge it was Demba Ba who scored the winning goal and the African striker might be in the starting line up again as Fernando Torres is in doubt due to a thigh injury. Samuel Eto'o is also in contention for that spot as he scored two goals against Schalke. Eden Hazard should also return after missing the Champions League match as punishment for skipping a training session. Steve Clarke will be without Victor Anichebe (hamstring), Billy Jones (hamstring), Ben Foster (foot) and Zoltan Gera (knee) while Scott Sinclair (hamstring) and Nicolas Anelka (groin) are in doubt.
Here are the odds for Saturday's match at Bet365:
Chelsea win - 2/7
Draw - 5/1
West Brom win - 11/1
