Paul Clement takes his Swansea side to the ground where he made a name for himself as an assistant manager for so many years – to take on the Champions of England, who look to be finding their form this season. Chelsea have won their last 4 Premier League matches and need to keep going in their pursuit of Manchester City at the top of the tree.

SwanseaChelsea
Chelsea’s great form continued in midweek with a 4-0 thumping of FK Qarabag in Azerbaijan and the Blues look to be finding their form in the Premier League too. The Blues have won their last 4 Premier League matches and find themselves in 3rd place in the table – 9 points behind leaders Manchester City. Eden Hazard has scored 6 goals in his last 7 matches for the Blues in all competitions and the Belgian looks to be finding the form that saw him set the league alight last term.
Swansea City
The Swans have endured a tough start to the campaign and this match doesn’t look any easier – although having no pressure may help the South Walians. Sat in 19th place in the table, the Swans have only picked up 8 points from their opening 12 games and have managed a mere 7 goals this term in the Premier League. The absence of Tammy Abraham for this game will be felt – he has impressed so far on loan in South Wales and the England international has scored 5 goals for the Swans – but can’t feature against his parent club.
Head to Head
Chelsea dominate the head to head record between the two sides with a 15:7 lead with another 7 games between the teams ending as draws. Swansea were one of very few teams to take points off the Blues last term with a 2-2 draw at the Liberty Stadium but Chelsea got revenge in February with a comfortable 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge.
