Chelsea hold on for first win of season
Terry red for hauling down Rondon
Pedro low strike and assist on debut
Courtois saves Morrison penalty at 0-0
Pedro
Manchester United fans look away now.
We were just asking ourselves in the office, has Pedro done anything?
The answer: He has now.
The Spaniard plays a lovely interchange with Hazard to get himself into the area. His effort takes a little nick off Jonas Olsson and spins into the bottom corner.

Image source, ReutersThis is a terrific spell for Albion. James Morrison swings in a free-kick from the right which Craig Dawson rises to meet - it's firm, but high and over.
In terms of the penalty, it looked nailed on. Callum McManaman cut in and Nemanja Matic had no complaints after dangling out a leg.
McNamaman has the beating of his man again, as Matic gets a booking for another challenge.
James Morrison
Oh no James Morrison. It's straight down the middle and Thibaut Courtois leaves enough of his trailing body to keep out the spot-kick, saving with his legs. Will West Brom get a better chance?
West Brom 0-0 Chelsea
Nemanja Matic fouls Callum McManaman, leaving his leg out towards the edge of the area. Clumsy from the Chelsea man.
Image source, AFPWhen you're absorbing pressure, you can hit on the counter, and that's what West Brom do. James Morrison loops a ball through for Salomon Rondon, whose first-time effort skews wide.
At the risk of fitting a Tony Pulis stereotype, West Brom look content to knock a few balls forward. It's not sticking though, and Chelsea can get it down - slow and patient from the visitors.
Image source, ReutersJames Morrison took a nasty one to the ankle from Chelsea's Kurt Zouma amid all that. The West Brom man looks OK though. Chelsea have settled down and are moving the ball around.
The Chelsea defence looks immediately like it would rather be somewhere else. They fail to deal with a cross and James McClean and Salomon Rondon come close to bundling it in.
At the other end Costa finds space, but drags wide. Lively.

The teams are out at The Hawthorns. Here is a reminder of the starting XIs:
West Brom: Myhill, Dawson, McAuley, Olsson, Brunt, Yacob, McClean, Morrison, Fletcher, McManaman, Rondón
Chelsea: Courtois, Ivanovic, Terry, Zouma, Azpilicueta, Fàbregas, Matic, Pedro, Willian, Hazard, Diego Costa

Ramires? Who knows? Feel free to make up your reasons as and when you desire.

A lot of managers would not have put their new signing straight into the line of fire a few days after his arrival. Jose is a maverick though.
Quote MessageLet’s see, let’s not be too demanding [and expect] everything in the first day after only three days of training. But everybody knows his qualities, it's just a question of how long he needs to adapt. He is a super player.

West Brom v Chelsea (13:30 BST)
Quote MessageI knew the question was coming because you’re interested in the players not playing. So next week instead of the line-up, we will give the names of the players who don’t start. I don’t have to tell you [why I picked Kurt Zouma], it’s my decision.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho speaking to Sky Sports
Jose is in a very prickly mood. Some short shrift given to questions about Gary Cahill being dropped. Here's what he said...

West Brom v Chelsea (13:30 BST)
Quite a bit of symmetry between these teams.
Neither have won a game yet. Both have one point. Both have a -3 goal difference.
And both have been beaten 3-0 by Manchester City this season.
Inseparable.
Jonathan Pearce
BBC football commentator
"West Brom need strengthening throughout but Tony Pulis has money to spend and will bring in new players this week to steer the Baggies to safety again.
"Mourinho rates Pulis as one of his toughest opponents but the Baggies boss knows it'll be extremely tough to get anything from this one."
It's a special milestone for Jose Mourinho today - 300 games across his two spells as Chelsea boss.
