Chelsea vs Swansea: Tactical analysis

Chelsea return to Premier League duty this weekend, with a home fixture against Paul Clement’s Swansea City on Saturday.

The Blues were in FA Cup action last weekend, beating Championship Wolves 2-0 at Molineux. Goals from Pedro and Diego Costa sent Antonio Conte’s side into the quarter-finals of the competition, where they will face Jose Mourinho and Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

Swansea, however, have not played since their last league fixture a couple of weeks ago. The Swans were victorious in this game, beating Premier League champions Leicester City 2-0. Alfie Mawson and Martin Olsson scored the goals to ease Swansea’s relegation fears.

In the reverse fixture earlier this season, Chelsea drew 2-2 with Swansea at the Liberty Stadium. Costa scored twice for Chelsea, with Leroy Fer and Gylfi Sigurdsson scoring Swansea’s goals.

With Chelsea’s fixture against Swansea coming up, we take a look at the Swans, and the possible threats they could pose to Chelsea.
