Whatever isn’t quite clicking for Swansea this season, don’t expect them to find at Chelsea, who incredibly remain undefeated at home under Jose Mourinho.

Azpilicueta’s form has been enough to keep Ashley Cole out of the side with Mourinho praising the Spaniards consistency

And even though the Blues have yet to set the world alight in terms of their displays this term, it is a testament to the ruthless efficiency with which they perform that they have won seven and drawn one of their eight Stamford Bridge matches. Clean sheets have not materialised as frequently as Mourinho would like however, with Chelsea’s maintenance of two on their own patch, and four in total a far cry from the immensely high standard they typically set. Perhaps they can hold firm here though, against opposition that have failed to score in two of their last three away games across all competitions. The Swans haven’t registered anything better than a single-goal haul within their past four games in succession, and have yet to notch away to a top-half side this term, losing on each of their three visits to top-10 stadiums.
