Soccercorner.org - Chelsea always had a great tradition when it started the competition .Premier Facing League Swansea City on Saturday (08/9), at Stamford Bridge, Jose Mourinho's troops are expected to reap good.
Snatch defeat against Arsenal last week's Community Shield trophy might still left disappointed. But that defeat could be a lash to start the season well. They certainly are eager to keep the Premier League title achieved last season.
In order to maintain the tradition of victory in the first game, Jose Mourinho can lose his best troops as they are often relegated last season. One player who can not be lowered is Diego Costa, was injured when undergoing test match against Barcelona in the USA some time ago.
Costa absence may reduce the sharpness of the Blues. But fortunately there are still Loic Remy is quite unreliable. Or maybe, Jose Mourinho fielded two strikers at once; duet between Remy with Radamel Falcao.
Similarly, in the opposite camp, Swansea can also play at full strength when a visit to the headquarters of the London club. Gary Monk will most likely try out new ammunition brought in this summer; Andre Ayew and Franck Tabaou.
But, beat Chelsea at home is very tough mission for any opponent. In fact, in the last 20 league games at Stamford Bridge, the Blues never defeat.
Starting Line-Up predictions:
Chelsea:
(4-2-3-1) Courtois: Azpilicueta - Terry - Cahill - Ivanovic; Matic - Fabregas; Hazard - Oscar - Willian; Remy
Swansea:
(4-2-3-1) Fabianski: Tabanou - Williams - Fernandez - Naughton; Cork-Sung - Yueng; Ayem - Sigurdsson - Dyer; Gomis
