Chelsea

Kante fit for West Brom game

Midfielder N’Golo Kante is fit for Chelsea’s potentially title-winning match against West Brom on Friday.

The PFA Player of the Year missed the 3-0 home win over Middlesbrough on Monday with a thigh problem.

But the 26-year-old Frenchman is available for the match at The Hawthorns, where the Blues could clinch their fifth Premier League title since the first success under Jose Mourinho in the 2004/05 season.

Cesc Fabregas replaced Kante and gave a man-of-the-match display alongside the impressive Nemanja Matic in central midfield against Boro.

Fabregas laid on the opening goal for Diego Costa and also teed up the third for Matic, which sealed victory in the second half.

Chelsea have a seven-point lead over second-placed Tottenham and need just three points from their remaining three games to win the league.
