Chelsea, guided by moribund director Rafa Benitez, will host West Brom at Stamford Bridge in what's suddenly an arduous scrap for the Champions League. The Blues seemed a bet to qualify 2-3 weeks ago, and some were also mentioning the probability of the West Londoners breaking the Manchester duopoly on the Premier League title. But Chelsea have slipped to fourth place, having been overtaken by Tottenham in midweek, and are only two measly points above fifth-placed Arsenal, who play Spurs on Sunday. That means that we'll have a very amusing sport on our hands, as a supremely talented side attempts to create a final push for the fundamental prize of a top-four end. Kickoff are at 10 a.m. ET, and I'll be here from 9:30 with live staff information, the lineups as they are released and hype from around Twitter.
