The Blues look for three points at home against Swansea City
Kick-off : 7:45 PM (Local)
Venue : Stamford bridge, London
The Blues are currently on third place in the table with 26 points. They are 11 points behind leaders Manchester City. They know that they need to keep winning games.
Willian’s late goal rescued Chelsea against Liverpool at the weekend. They cannot afford to drop points if they are to catch Pep Guardiola’s men.
On the other hand, Swansea City are in the relegation zone, with just nine points on 19th. Chelsea will fancy their chances against them.
So far Chelsea and Swansea City have played each other 33 times. Out of that the Blues have won 15 times while Swansea City have won 7 times, 11 games have been a draw.
All in all it should be a good game on Wednesday as both teams will give their all.
Team news and possible line-ups
Wilfried Bony is available for Swansea City and will play Wednesday’s game. While Kyle Bartley will not be available against Chelsea as due to injury.
As for the Blues, Victor Moses is available and might play against Swansea. While Michy Batshuayi, Charly Musonda and Kenedy remain unavailable as due to injury.

Prediction
I don’t think their is much of a doubt that Chelsea are strong favorites to win this game. Perhaps they will win by a huge margin. I expect them to win 4-0.
