Our next Premier League game after the international break and we're hosting second-placed Swansea at home. So far Swansea have avoided the big fry (Manchester United don't count) and their record against us is patchy at best.

 

Provided we remain injury free during the international break we should absolutely twat them. We have Manchester City away after Swansea so we'll definately want to keep ahead of them going into that clash.

 

If we attack with the ferocity we showed against Burnley and Everton we'll absolutely twat Swansea out of the park.

They've started the season well. Could be difficult but definitely a game we should be winning.

Not easy, there seems to be no easy games but hopefully 2-0 is my prediction ... Swansea are a good team, again!

Gotta wait two weeks for this one not happy

International breaks are awful. I want to see premier league action!

Least Costa will be fresh...just the 4 goals for him I suspect

Don't like Swansea. Hope Costa kicks the sh*t out of that ball boy.

I can see him pulling off a sly clothesline whilst celebrating his 4th.

 

Swansea didn't look that impressive against United, didn't see their other games.  We should be beating them at home in any case.  I just hope the defence looks back to its usual resolute self.  City travel to Arsenal beginning their week of hell (Arsenal, Bayern, us) - so this is our opportunity to break away from the chasing pack.

Cant believe this is the top of the table clash after 3 games. Always a dangerous game after the international break, I wouldn't worry at all if we play them this Saturday

International football so soon after an international tournament is stupid.

Shouldn't be a game until the November games there usually is

Don't worry lads. We get to see England play on Wednesday. That'll cheer everyone up. Right?..........Right?

I just don't get that same feeling for Internationals that I do for club football.

Lets hope we dont get complacent. Swansea have started well.

 

2-0 will do nicely.

A win with a clean sheet would be perfect! Be nice to see a cameo from Remy too at some point, I guess he would have settled in a little by then.

 

Anyway a nice 2 week break for us from our beloved Chelsea, no way I'm watching England I will find something better to do. I guess that's two weeks football free! Doh!

Nor i. When I was younger used to follow the fortunes of the Scotland team. Sadly, the Scottish National side has been in decline for some years now. Club football for me now. I notice that at the same time as England play Norway, Germany plays Argentina.

 

Should easily beat Swansea. Remember when we beat them 4-0 a couple of seasons back. Game where Torres was sent off.

The last two teams with a 100% record. We must win this!

If we can get someone running against Taylor well be laughing, looked so poor against united and hasn't been tested since, not bad going forward but another case of a attack minded full back not being able to defend.

Game will be a tougher test than it should be after their start but even after internationals we should still have enough.

cream rises to the top...3-0

An accidentally scheduled battle for top of the table.

Booooo International break.

Could not give less of a damn about England, especially with Cahill apparently 'injured' for it. I refuse to put aside my blue-tinted bias to cheer for Rooney and co.. All would change however if the true captain was still around...

Ah those international injuries that only happen at these times haha

cream rises to the top...3-0

Hmm I hate the fact this game is so far away.

Boo to international friendly’s!!!

Anyway this is going to be a tough game I reckon, Swansea are no mugs as we have seen so far this season. Bony will be a handful as will Gomis if he plays a part, they are a good passing side and we must match them in that aspect…more so than the weekend where I felt we struggled to keep possession…albeit being deadly when given our chances.

I hope the break doesn’t eat at our momentum and we can pick up where we left with another good display with some goals…although of course I’d take a scrappy narrow win all day long.

My team would largely be the same with maybe Schurrle or Oscar coming in for Ramires.
