This time around it is another clash away from home but against the Champions in Chelsea and the Swans are again clear outsiders to come away from the opening game with three points under their belt.
But of course that does not mean that the Swans are heading to the Bridge as an already beaten team and left back Neil Taylor is hopeful of a repeat of that historic day twelve months ago.
We have never beaten Chelsea in a Premier League fixture and our previous four trips at this level to their home have seen us beaten on all four occasions but Taylor is right when he refers back to a similar position this time last year.
“Last year we had the game against Manchester United and we got off to a great start,รขโฌย Taylor said. รขโฌลWe will look to do the same again this weekend, but weรขโฌโขre under no illusions of how good Chelsea are.
รขโฌลWe know that if we go there and play to the best of our ability then weรขโฌโขve got a chance of getting a result. Weรขโฌโขll be right up for it, the game is on TV and weรขโฌโขve got nothing to lose.
รขโฌลThereรขโฌโขs no good or bad time to play Chelsea, so itรขโฌโขs exciting to start the season there.รขโฌย
