Costa got his 20th league goal this season in the 23rd minute, controlling a ball lofted into the area by compatriot Cesc Fabregas and neatly nutmegging keeper Brad Guzan.
Conte, whose side have led the table since November in his first season in charge, has been counting down the points, repeating each week like a mantra the number needed to get over the line.
"It's great to breathe this atmosphere at Stamford Bridge".
Chelsea's players deserve far more credit than Antonio Conte for their success this season, according to Ricardo Carvalho.
"We must go game by game".
With West Brom having not won a game in seven, this clash will be one that Chelsea believe they will overcome, and therefore win the English Premier League.
With this stat in mind, Conte might gamble and start with club captain John Terry in the heart of the defence to give his side more of chance in dealing with set-pieces.
Courtois suggests that this is the reason why winning the title after a poor season like last term feels so much better and makes it even more significant than it already is.

Conte was thrown into an ice bath four years ago by his players after guiding Juventus to the title and would welcome similar celebrations from Chelsea. We must not forget we have to take three points in these three games.
Chelsea need three points from the remaining three games this season to win the Premier League for the fifth time.
Conte added: "We started this season with two wins, but honestly".
"For sure this moment is a really good moment for us as we are so close to reaching a fantastic target for us". In this part of the season, we always said it's right to look at ourselves and not wait for the result of the other teams.
"I must be honest, and I must be pleased for the performance, the commitment, the desire and the will of my players on the pitch".
Chelsea will see out the season with fixtures against Watford and Sunderland following the West Brom game. "West Brom will want to play a good game against us, but we are ready".
'But after a bad defeat against Arsenal... after that defeat I understood we had to change something in the tactical aspect and find the right solution, also to improve our work, our tactical work.
"We have to gain more points to finish strongly, then everything moving forward will be aimed at getting back into the Premier League as soon as possible".
