Chelsea to host Swansea as Premier League revives after two weeks

Date:

Antonio Conte has confirmed that Chelsea have a fully-fit squad to pick from when they face Swansea City on Saturday in Premier League.

Swansea City will be without Ki Sung-Yeung (knee), Nathan Dyer (Achilles) and Jefferson Montero (hamstring) in their quest for a first Premier League victory at the Stamford Bridge.

After winning six of their first eight Premier League meetings with Swansea City, Chelsea are without a win in their last three against them.Swansea have taken 12 points from a possible 18 in 2017, one more than the leaders Chelsea (11).

Diego Costa has scored more goals against Swansea than any other PL opponent (7), while Gylfi Sigurdsson has scored the most of his goals versus Chelsea (4). Indeed the clash is going to be worth watching.

Cesc Fabregas could become the first Spanish player to reach 300 Premier League appearances if Conte decides to start with him.

Antonio Conte: “They are very compact defensively, very dangerous in offensive situations, in set pieces. It will be a really tough game.”

Paul Clement: “We know we are going to have to be at our very best against them, but we are not daunted by the challenge.”

Kick off at 8:30 pm (IST).
