Swansea Vs Chelsea Match Preview

Who missed watching the blues in action.We all did!Just when it seemed the excitement was beefing up,arrived the first international break of the season.

The blues are however back in action with a visit to the Liberty Stadium getting the campaign back underway.A flawless start to the season capped off with a convincing victory against Burnley makes us firm favorites to claim all three points against the Welsh based team.Surprises should however not be ruled out with Chelsea getting only a point from a possible six vs Swansea last campaign.

Swansea were the first visitors to Stamford Bridge last season in a controversial fixture that saw Thibaut Courtois sent off early in the second half for a misjudged challenge on Gomes inside the box with Chelsea 2:1 up,the ensuing penalty granted the Welsh team a share of the spoils as the blues played out the majority of the second half a man less.

The reverse fixture at Liberty Stadium ended our unbeaten run of 15 games with Siggurdson grabbing the lone goal despite the blues dominance for large spells in the second half.Eden Hazard,Gary Cahill,John Terry and Nemanja Matic missed the game via injuries while Diego Costa served the last of his three games suspension.

Chelsea however completed a league double the season before with Diego Costa's hatrick a highlight of our penultimate trip to Liberty Stadium after we won 4:1 at the Bridge.

Francesco Guidolin's charges won their opening fixture against Burnley but lost twice on a spin against newly promoted Hull City and Leicester City last time out.

Chelsea sealed deals for Marcos Alonso and returnee David Luiz on deadline to boost our options at the back.The duo had enough game time at Fiorentina and PSG respectively and could slot straight into the team.Marcos is likely to assume a role on the left side of the back line with Cesar Azplicueta moving to his preferred right position. The center back slots are up for Gary Cahill,John Terry and David Luiz. Barclays Player of the month Eden Hazard has impressed in our opening games and should keep his place on the left flank with Willian operating from the right.

Conte has harnessed strength from the substitutes with those that came on having a hand in 4 of our seven goals in the opening weeks,Michy Batshuayi being the major hit.
Chelsea Premier League Goal Scorers :
Diego Costa 2 , Eden Hazard 2 (1 pen),Michy Batshuayi 1, Willian 1, Victor Moses 1.

With the Manchester Derby coming up this weekend,a victory with a good goal margin could see us get back to the summit of the league.

Go For Victory Blues !
