Planet Swans ArchivesThe Swans have lost all four of their Premier League fixtures at Stamford Bridge, conceding 11 goals in the process but we do have a recent history of winning there with a Capital One Cup semi final win at the ground back in 2013.
This time last year the Swans were preparing for a season opener at Manchester United and we all know what happened there and that will contribute to the optimism for the game as well as what seems to be some very good transfer dealings this summer.
Around 250 people voted in our site poll as to what the result would be against Chelsea with a pretty even split between a win for Chelsea and a win for Swansea with 27% predicting a draw to start the season for both teams.
Chelsea’s pre-season has not been as strong as they would have liked whilst the Swans drew 4 of our 5 pre-season friendlies not that you can read much into anything that happens in pre-season (remember what happened the week before Manchester United last season?)
Let’s hope that the optimism is not misplaced for this particular fixture and that Planet Swans poll voters are a good knowledgeable base of what is about to happen.
