Premier League: Swansea City v Chelsea match preview

A look ahead to this weekend's fixture at the Liberty Stadium

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho looks on from the touchline

Jose Mourinho’s "little horse" will look to take advantage of title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City meeting each other, to get back into the title race.

Having seen of PSG in dramatic fashion on Tuesday night Chelsea should take momentum to South Wales, and could end the day top if they win and Liverpool lose.

Swansea, on the other hand, are still looking over their shoulder at the relegation zone. Last week’s defeat at Hull leaves the Swans just six points above Fulham in 18th. One more win for Garry Monk’s side will take them a long way towards safety, but they’ve never beaten Chelsea in the Premier League.
