Match Preview
Premier League returns to our TV screens this weekend, as Chelsea make their only European trip of the season, where they will face Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium.
Despite the disruption caused by the departure of the clubs international players, the travelling side will look to maintain their 100% record as they make the next step in a potential push for Premier League glory.
Antonio Conte’s squad strengthened on deadline with the acquisitions of Marcos Alonso from Fiorentina and David Luiz from PSG, so the passionate Italian will look to get the upper hand on his fellow compatriot and improve on Chelsea’s last trip to the Liberty – which ended 1-0 to the Swans.
Francesco Guidolin’s side haven’t got off to the best of starts this season, having only picked up 3 points out of a possible 9, the Welsh club will be looking to kick start their season after the international break which could create a tight affair on Sunday afternoon.
