Bettor.com analyzes the players who could have the biggest impact on tomorrow’s game at the Hawthorns Stadium.
West Brom:
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peter-Odemwingie-c29794:
The Nigerian has had the greatest of impacts at the club and his performances have been absolutely pivotal to their recent success.
Last year, he was particularly in lethal form, dominating proceedings with his brilliant dribbling abilities and creating chances for his teammates.
Odemwingie’s skills in particular have contributed a lot to his team’s attacking potency, as he demonstrated recently by scoring a peach of a goal against Southampton.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Luiz-c10542, but it remains to be seen whether the Brazilian can deal with the Nigerian International when they face off.
Chelsea:
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo:
It’s not very often that the spotlight is on a manager, but this time around, the Italian coach will be facing the pressure as he returns to his former stomping ground.
Roberto Di Matteo managed the Baggies during their sensational run in the 2010/11 season but later joined the Blues when Andre Villas-Boas took over last year. However, what is really intriguing is that West Brom’s win over the Londoners in March proved
to be the final nail in Villas-Boas’ coffin and considering the media reports Matteo could be headed in the same direction.
The team’s early good form seems to have evaporated and the recent draw against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 suggests that something is seriously amiss.
Rumours of a takeover by Pep Guardiola continues to hound the back pages and with time to prove that the UEFA Champions League triumph was not a fluke running out, there is a lot at stake for Chelsea as they clash with Albion tomorrow.
Juan Mata:
The Spaniard is perhaps the only Blues player at the moment, who has managed to maintain consistency throughout the campaign and keep his good form going.
With is play-making abilities, he can create and score chances with one wave of his left-foot and will surely demand extra attention from the West Brom defenders during the game.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 man’s numbers do all the talking, as he has 4 goals to his name as well as 6 creditable assists. That superiority has seen him being crowned the Premier League player of the month for October and if he manages to continue that, other
accolades may not be that far away.
Fernando Torres:
The mis-firing striker is virtually on no-man’s land, as he has failed to perform with Chelsea after Didier Drogba’s departure and could potentially be given the boot, as the London outfit are considering a bid for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276.
Even Torres’ teammates are backing the move, with David Luiz making his comments public by saying that everyone at the helm would welcome the Colombian hit-man, who showed his class by ousting the side in the UEFA Super Cup.
"Of course [he'd be a great fit]. All of the players would be happy because Falcao is a great player. It's particularly hard to stop him,” the Brazilian centre-back was quoted as saying while speaking to the media.
For http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 with Falcao taking his place and perhaps his starting berth in the Spanish National Team as well.
