Chelsea fans are furious that Emerson Palmieri has not been selected against West Brom
Antonio Conte has opted to play two right wing-backs against West Brom, much to the dismay of Chelsea fans.
The Italian manager has selected both Victor Moses and Davide Zappacosta to face the Baggies at Stamford Bridge, with the latter replacing Marcos Alonso on the left of defence.
Chelsea supporters are bemused by the team selection, with January signing Emerson Palmieri overlooked on the bench despite being a natural left wing-back.
The £17million man is joined by Alvaro Morata in the dugout with the Spaniard not yet ready to start following a back injury.
