LONDON (SE) - Chelsea conclusion a week with to be able to claim next place in the Premier League and the visit of West Bromwich Albion to Stamford Bridge, at least until Sunday when Arsenal accept Tottenham Hotspur. What should have amounted to only a routine dismissal of Middlesbrough in the FA Cup on Wednesday night changed into uncensored broadcast of the club's soiled laundry when 'beginning director' Rafael Benitez certainly rounded on the fans who've hounded him since he took charge in November. "A band of fans, they are not doing any favors for the staff when they're performing and losing time preparing banners," Benitez said post-match. "It is really because a mistake was made by someone. The put my subject 'temporary boss', and I'll leave by the end of the season, so that they don't have to waste time with me. "They have to focus on supporting the team, that's what they have to complete. In the end, they're not doing any favours to the people, to the rest of the supporters and to the club. Every sport they continue singing and they continue preparing banners, they are losing time. What they have to complete is support the team." Will probably not provide much comfort if the Blues were longing for a soft touch to finish the week then the sight of West Brom (12-4-11) going up at the Bridge. Their 2-1 get at The Hawthorns in mid-November, meant the Baggies had attached consecutive league advantages against Chelsea (14-7-6) for the first time considering that the 1978-79 season. Recognized to appreciate details, Benitez may want to take note that his predecessor, Roberto Di Matteo was dismissed after that match. The Midlands part have really accounted for the last two Chelsea supervisors as Andre Villas-Boas, Di Matteo's predecessor, was found the door carrying out a 1-0 reduction at The Hawthorns last March. That said, the Baggies have lost nine of the last nine league games at Stamford Bridge, pulling one other 1-1 in December 1988. Their last category triumph at the Bridge arrived in September 1978 and their last win of any kind there clearly was a League Cup win in 1984. After winning their last two league games going to 40 things, broadly speaking regarded as the benchmark for preventing relegation, joint-assistant head coach Keith Downing says West Brom will soon be looking to reassess their fast league goals. "We are going into new territory and it's initially we could think that way," Downing told the team website. "It is going to be a for a lot of us as players and coaches, even as we have usually had to look over our shoulders a lot of the time. "We'll have to approach it in another way in the weeks ahead and it's been a large two games to get back-to-back. As numerous back-to-back activities that you can we are always attempting to win and I think it is an actual plus in the Premier League. If you're able to get six points in a week it's a huge achievement. West Brom will undoubtedly be without their top scorer in the league, Romelu Lukaku, because of the terms of his loan contract with parent team Chelsea. Shane Long is uncertain for the fit and Goran Popov is serving the last game of a three-match ban meaning director Steve Clarke may add Isaiah Brown and children Romaine Sawyers to the team. Lukaku's absence could also visit a first start for Peter Odemwingie since his unsuccessful make an effort to move away from West Brom on exchange contract day. Odemwingie's attack 5 minutes into the 2nd half decided the contest once the sides last met after Long had opened the scoring. Eden Hazard scored the Chelsea purpose.
