Swansea v Chelsea: Preview and Predictions

Swansea v Chelsea 3rd November 15:00: Verdict - Chelsea 4/5

The way the season has been going games like this one have to be won by clubs expecting to win the league.  Chelsea are leading what is becoming evermore increasingly a three horse race and have to beat Swansea to keep the rest of the pack from overtaking on the inside – and they'll will also want to be in the headlines for something other than race-rows and abuse of twitter. 

          Swansea’s second season is a big test and the club look likely to stay afloat for a third, but their survival is not being weighted on games like this one.  It’s a big day out for Swansea and this game could be tense, but we expect Chelsea to be firmly in control by the second half inspite of the late night they had mid-week and Swansea's elation as a result of defeating Brendan Rodgers and his new squeeze, Liverpool.

         Rested Torres scored for the Blues against Swansea last season, but also saw red in the fixture at Stamford Bridge – he’ll be wanting to have a better performance, aiming to return to the form seen at the start of the season.  We see him as a likely goalscorer if Chelsea are to win comfortably.
