Swansea City vs Chelsea: Match Preview & Prediction

Swansea City vs Chelsea: Match Preview & Prediction

There have only been 3 Chelsea managers capable of getting 12 points out of their first 4 Premier League games of the season. Conte is just a game away from matching Mourinho, Hiddink and Ancelotti who after this short winning streak went ahead and secured the PL title. The odds are in the Blues’ favor as all the lot is complete and all players are in good form. Most have shown a change in attitude and have expressed their content with the way things are now at Stamford Bridge since Conte has taken over.

The game against Swansea will also provide an update on the way the squad will line up for the rest of the season. With David Luiz freshly signed everyone expects to see if the Brazilian will deliver. Here is what Conte said:

“We have bought David Luiz because we need a centre-back. In this squad, there were Cahill and Terry, and sometimes we adapt Branislav Ivanovic in this role. But we needed centre-backs so, for that reason, we bought him.

“I know David Luiz has played in midfield before but, in my mind now, that is not an idea for us. I think this squad can play 3-4-3, not 3-5-2 like the national team in Italy and Juventus but, because of the characteristics of the players, we can play 3-4-3.” [Quotes provided by the BBC]

In terms of form, Costa and Hazard are looking great. Batshuayi, despite missing a penalty shot for his country has shown great potential during his first minutes played for Chelsea and is expected to start next to the Spanish international.

As Chelsea travel to the Liberty Stadium looking to gain revenge for the loss the Blues endured the last time these sides faced each other we see a comfortable 3-1 win for Chelsea against a Swansea side which is struggling for goals.
