Posted April 4, 20169 yr Swansea have gained 10 points from their last 5 matches. Beating struggling teams like Villa and Norwich, but also winning at The Emirates. The other 2 games they lost to Bournemouth and have just drawn with Stoke. I'm quite confident we can come away with 3 points, but it wouldn't surprise me if they held us to a draw. No Costa for this one. Would like to see Traore start, but I'd also like to see Pato as well. Hopefully Guus will play some Youth players again, too. ---------Tibo Azpi-Miazga-Terry-Baba ----Cesc----Mikel -Traore-RLC-Pedro --------Pato Edited April 4, 20169 yr by AlexTommo
April 4, 20169 yr It's a tricky fixture. They've won 3 of their last 5 including that one at the Emirates, but the other 2 were Villa and Norwich. Dropping points at Bournemouth wasn't great but that point at Stoke was hard fought.  Honestly they're probably not far off where we are as a team so it's a toughie.  It's a step-up for someone like Miazga too, especially if Gomis plays because I've always liked him. I'd really like to see us keep going with the youngsters but I suspect Guus will make a few changes including bringing Willian back into the team at the expense of Kenedy. I'd also be inclined to drop Rahman if one of Cahill and JT are back.  ------------Courtois  Ivanovic  Miazga  Terry  Azpi  -------------Mikel   Fabregas--------Loftus-Cheek  Willian------------------Pedro  ------------Traore  Pato did well but Traore was great before he was dropped for Costa and has done nothing to see him overtaken by the loan signing.
April 4, 20169 yr Teebo Dave Ivan Gaz Kenedy Cesc Mikel Willian RLC Pedro Traore Traore was rested against Villa, might see Kenedy replaced by Baba in the lineup.
April 4, 20169 yr I think uncle Guus will revert back to a team made up predominantly of tried and tested players. Returns for, if fit, Terry, Cahill, Willian and Hazard. Hopefully TLC retains his place but I won't hold my breath.

April 5, 20169 yr What happens with Traore, injured? I wasn't convinced at all by Pato's debut, but Remy was awful, even if he's somehow fit he shouldn't get anywhere near the starting team. Swanesa is out of the relegation zone, not that much to play for either.
April 6, 20169 yr I really have a sense of indifference ahead of this fixture that I haven't felt about a Chelsea game in a long time. By the way, if you type 'define indifference' into Google the example comes up as 'the indifference of Chelsea's midfield.'

Swanesa is out of the relegation zone, not that much to play for either. I think he was away playing in the international break (Ghana, if memory serves me) and didn't return until later then most playing in Europe. Because of this he was rested. That's what I heard anyway
April 6, 20169 yr Teebo Dave Ivan Gaz Kenedy Cesc Mikel Willian RLC Pedro Traore Traore was rested against Villa, might see Kenedy replaced by Baba in the lineup. We are more likely to see this team.

April 6, 20169 yr Author He was away with Burkina Faso playing against Uganda i thoughtYeah. It's Atsu (and Baba) that's Ghanain.
April 6, 20169 yr trying to get my boy a ticket in the chelsea end against swansea.got one in the swansea end but hes chelsea mad and we live up the road.any body got any ideas thanks.
April 6, 20169 yr Begovic Azpi Ivan/Terry (if fit) Salter Baba Mikel Fab Kenedy Loftus Cheek Pedro Traore I want to see Salter play a full game, not just 10 minutes, now that we've seen Miazga, Pato to replace Traore in the second half, would like to see Aina eventually.
April 6, 20169 yr BegovicAzpi Clarke-Salter Ivan BabaFabregas MikelPedro RLC KenedyPatothough i think guus would prefer miazga rather than clarke-salter

April 7, 20169 yr Not sure what team we will put out but hope it contains plenty of young players.Would be nice to keep the unbeaten league run going but Europa is beckoning.Still beggars cant be choosers.....UP THE CHELS!
April 7, 20169 yr I really have a sense of indifference ahead of this fixture that I haven't felt about a Chelsea game in a long time. By the way, if you type 'define indifference' into Google the example comes up as 'the indifference of Chelsea's midfield.' That's hilarious, I thought you were joking but it actually does! Â
April 8, 20169 yr Yeah. It's Atsu (and Baba) that's Ghanain. Sorry, I meant I thought he was away playing against Ghana, not that he's Ghanain. Feeling positive about this match. Hopefully we'll get the new manager boost even though he's not started yet
April 8, 20169 yr Author Sorry, I meant I thought he was away playing against Ghana, not that he's Ghanain. Feeling positive about this match. Hopefully we'll get the new manager boost even though he's not started yet Oh I see. Apologies.
April 8, 20169 yr I would like to see, if fit; Begovic Azpi Maziga Terry (if not fit brana) Baba Cesc Matic Traore Rlc Kenedy Pato
April 8, 20169 yr I would like to see, if fit; Begovic Azpi Maziga Terry (if not fit brana) Baba Cesc Matic Traore Rlc Kenedy Pato  I'm assuming you meant Miazga? Also, Matic is out injured.Â
April 8, 20169 yr Four Chelsea players, including strikers Diego Costa and Loïc Rémy, defender John Terry and midfielder Nemanja Matic won't be available to play in tomorrow's match. Â
April 8, 20169 yr I'm assuming you meant Miazga? Also, Matic is out injured.That I did and I guess that means brana rather than jt and Mikel rather than matic. I would still expect willian and Pedro in rather than traore/pato and kenedy though. Edited April 8, 20169 yr by axman2526
