But Robert Di Matteo’s side will be motivated to create some noise in their first match in the Premier League after Chelsea looking out of form in their last defeat against Manchester United in the Community Shield.
Chelsea have lost a lot of players this season and haven’t added much besides Benayoun from Liverpool.

Chelsea: Cech, Ferreira, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole, Essien, Mikel, Lampard, Kalou, Anelka, Drogba.
West Brom: Carson, Jara, Olsson, Ibanez, Shorey, Mulumbu, Brunt, Morrison, Dorrans, Thomas, Miller.So that wraps up our look at the final match of the first day in the 2010-2011 EPL.
