Real Madrid’s Six New Galacticos: Chelsea, Liverpool & Man United Stars Targeted In Spending Spree
Chelsea have won their last four matches in all competitions against Swansea City. Here’s how we think they’ll lineup.
Goalkeeper – Petr Cech
With Courtois still nursing a broken thumb Cech is expected to start in goal, and having kept two clean sheets in his two consecutive starts has stepped up expertly.
Right-back – Branislav Ivanovic
One of Chelsea’s most reliable players – a certain starter.
Centre-back – Gary Cahill
Having been rested for last Saturday’s victory over Newcastle United, Cahill’s partnership with John Terry is set to resume against Swansea, but fans wouldn’t be disappointed if the impressive Kurt Zouma starts again.
Centre-back – John Terry
The captain and at 34 still remains their best defender.
Left-back – Filipe Luis
Azpilicueta has established himself at left-back, but with the defender out injured Filipe will be desperate to step up in his absence.
Centre-midfield – Nemanja Matic
An essential part of Chelsea’s success so far this season – has developed an excellent partnership with Cesc Fabregas.
Centre-midfield – Cesc Fabregas
14 assists in 20 games for the Blues – a striker’s dream.
Right-wing – Willian
An unsung hero for the Blues through his immense work-rate as well as ability on the ball.
Left-wing – Eden Hazard
Chelsea’s star player who continues to impress week in week out.
Attacking-midfield – Oscar
Grabbed the first goal in the victory against Newcastle on Saturday, but with just four goals in the league more is expected from the Brazilian.
Striker – Diego Costa
Netted his 15th league goal of the season against the Magpies, rounding off a superb team goal that summed up Chelsea’s flowing football so far this season.
