West Brom (13) v Man City (1) – Live Sky Sports Premier League

Chelsea have no fresh injuries, and Danny Drinkwater (calf), N’Golo Kante (hamstring) and Victor Moses (hamstring) will miss out. Drinkwater made his Chelsea debut in the 2-1 Carabao Cup victory over Everton in midweek but manager Antonio Conte insists he still lacks match fitness.
