Chelsea predicted XI: Swansea (A)

Chelsea face Swansea City on Saturday evening, as they continue to chase a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Antonio Conte’s men travel to North Wales off the back of an FA Cup semi-final victory on Saturday, thanks to Olivier Giroud’s impressive solo goal.

Conte is also looking for his 50th victory as Chelsea boss at the weekend, a win at the Liberty would make him the third quickest manager to do it in Premier League history.

Carlos Carvahal’s team will be desperate for the three points in order to pull further away from the relegation zone, as they currently sit 17th, just one place above.

Swansea have only ever beaten Chelsea once since being promoted to the Premier League, after 13 meetings between the sides.

Olivier Giroud should keep his place after his recent form, he also has a good record at the Liberty, scoring twice and assisting twice in four starts.

With Marcos Alonso still suspended, Emerson Palmieri is expected to take his place at full-back.

Here’s how we expect the Blues to line-up in North Wales…

matchday.
