Burrows makes two changes to West Brom for Chelsea clash

Frank Burrows took caretaker charge of West Brom for the first time today charged with the daunting task of derailing Barclays Premiership title chasers Chelsea.

Gary Megson’s messy midweek departure heaped more woe on the Baggies following their dismal 3-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.

Burrows made two changes with Neil Clement returning from suspension and Jonathan Greening also back in the starting line-up.

Eidur Gudjohnsen got the chance to add to last week’s hat-trick against Blackburn as he was one of eight changes made by Jose Mourinho from the midweek Carling Cup clash with West Ham.

Joe Cole, Paulo Ferreira and William Gallas were the trio who retained their places in the side.

West Brom: Hoult, Scimeca, Gaardsoe, Moore, Robinson, Gera, Johnson, Clement, Greening, Earnshaw, Kanu.

Subs: Koumas, Dobie, Dyer, Haas, Kuszczak.

Chelsea: Cech, Paulo Ferreira, Terry, Gallas, Bridge, Smertin, Makelele, Lampard, Cole, Gudjohnsen, Duff.

Subs: Ricardo Carvalho, Kezman, Robben, Cudicini, Tiago.

Referee: B Knight (Kent)
