West Bromwich Albion FC (0-1-1, 1 point) is set to host defending champions Chelsea FC (0-1-1, 1 point) in Week 3 of the 2015-2016 Premier League season on Sunday at The Hawthorns.
Both teams are struggling early in the season as of the moment, especially the reigning champs who settled for a 2-2 draw against Swansea City in their opener at home and then got blown out by Manchester City, 3-0, at the Etihad in Week 2.
Jose Mourinho face is indescribable these days because of his boys' poor showing in the last two games, and he hopes the arrival of former Barcelona forward Pedro would jumpstart his club to defend their title, as per BBC Sport.
The Baggies are out of their game in the early weeks of the competitions. City also gave them a 3-0 shellacking right at home in their opener, while they settled for a draw against newly-promoted club Watford FC at Vicarage Road, via the Mirror.
Prediction: Chelsea wins, 3-0, as Mourinho gets sick and tired of his wards' lackluster play.
