Chelsea vs West Brom - 5 Changes Mourinho Must Make After Newcastle Defeat

After the Magpies came away with a 2-0 at St. James' Park against Chelsea last weekend, Mourinho claimed in his post match interview that he had made 11 mistakes, in reference to the starting 11 that he selected for the game, a declaration that he is unlikely to act upon in full against West Brom on Saturday afternoon. The Blues followed up their trip to the North East with a convincing 3-0 home win against German side Schalke, with a team that looked almost unrecognisable from the defeat to Alan Pardew's Newcastle. The Portuguese coach made six changes to the side that beat the Bundesliga club in midweek, with the only enforced alteration being Samuel Eto'o in for Fernando Torres, who was missing through injury. The Blues desperately need to pick up their Premier League form, with last week's defeat meaning they lost even more ground on league leaders Arsenal, who sit pretty at the top of the table five points clear of their London rivals. As a result, we've compiled a list of five things the former Real Madrid coach can change to avoid a repeat of last week's performance.
