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,รขโ‚ฌย Taylor said. รขโ‚ฌล“We will look to do the same again this weekend, but weรขโ‚ฌโ„ขre under no illusions of how good Chelsea are.

รขโ‚ฌล“We know that if we go there and play to the best of our ability then weรขโ‚ฌโ„ขve got a chance of getting a result. Weรขโ‚ฌโ„ขll be right up for it, the game is on TV and weรขโ‚ฌโ„ขve got nothing to lose.

รขโ‚ฌล“Thereรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs no good or bad time to play Chelsea, so itรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs exciting to start the season there.รขโ‚ฌย
