LONDON — Chelsea kept alive its faint hopes of retaining the Premier League title with a 3-1 win at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday that moved the defending champions to within eight points of leader Manchester United.
With United playing local rival Manchester City in an FA Cup semifinal later Saturday, Chelsea recovered from 1-0 down at the Hawthorns through goals by Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou and Frank Lampard.
Everton continued its late-season rally with a 2-0 win over Blackburn, while Birmingham eased its relegation worries with a 2-0 win over Sunderland and Aston Villa won 2-1 at West Ham.
Wigan moved off the bottom of the standings with a 3-1 win at Blackpool that dropped its opponent into the three-team relegation zone.
