West Brom - Chelsea: Win and be King!

Coach Conte and his team will become the King of the Premier League this season if they get all three points in their away match against West Brom on the night of May 12.

* The West Brom - Chelsea match takes place at 2am on Saturday, May 13, Hanoi time.

The Premier League enters round 37 today, the penultimate round of the season. But both Chelsea and second-placed Tottenham have only played 35 matches. With a seven-point gap between the two teams, Conte and his team only need to win today's early match of round 37 to be crowned champions, regardless of the results of the remaining matches.

However, this is still not an easy task for the army that is eyeing the throne. At home at The Hawthorn, West Brom have only lost once to Chelsea in their last five home matches. They have won three and drawn one of their remaining four matches against the rich neighboring team. The last time Chelsea beat West Brom both times in a season was six years ago.

West Brom are far behind in stature and reputation, but are always difficult to play against when facing Chelsea.

In the first leg of this season, despite playing at home, Chelsea had to struggle to defeat West Brom 1-0. Coach Tony Pulis's team that day tightly blocked the two wings, making the 3-4-3 formation that his colleague Conte applied to the home team harmless. Chelsea only won thanks to a moment of brilliance from Diego Costa.

However, based on current form, Chelsea have reason to be hopeful. West Brom are in a poor run of form, having picked up just two points from their last six Premier League games. They ended a club-record five-game goalless streak with a 2-2 draw with Burnley last weekend.

West Brom have lost their last three home games by the same scoreline of 0-1. Another defeat to Chelsea today would see the Hawthorns repeat their sad record of four consecutive home games without scoring between November 2004 and January 2005.

Chelsea also welcomed back key player N'golo Kante today, who was sidelined in the win over Boro earlier this week due to a muscle strain. The presence of the number one defensive midfielder will help Chelsea's attacking stars like Hazard and Costa focus on attacking the home team's goal.

Diego Costa has 20 Premier League goals, equaling his personal best of 2014-15. He needs just one more goal to set a new record. West Brom are also Costa's favorite opponents, having scored three goals in his last five games against them.

Conte and his students are facing a great opportunity to bring Chelsea their fifth championship in the Premier League era.

But as coach Tony Pulis insisted in his pre-match press conference, West Brom will not easily let Chelsea take the title. "Chelsea are the most solid team this season and they come here with the ambition to win. We will try our best. West Brom's goal is to keep a point to protect eighth place. We still have a lot of motivation to play football," Pulis emphasized.

Meanwhile, Conte did not hide his desire to win the match so that Chelsea could be crowned champions soon. The Italian coach said: "To reach this great opportunity, we have worked hard all season. The important thing now is to be ready and try to complete the last step, before celebrating."
