EPL: High-flying Chelsea face tricky test

Chelsea vs Swansea
Venue: Stamford Bridge
Kick off: 4PM

Chelsea head into their Premier League fixture with Swansea City looking to extend their lead at the top of the table to 11 points.
As for Swansea, they currently sit four points clear of the relegation zone and boss Paul Clement will be quietly confident of picking up a result on his return to Stamford Bridge.
For much of the last month, Chelsea have struggled to replicate the form which first got them to the top of the Premier League table but with an eight-point lead still intact, boss Antonio Conte will now be looking for efficiency over goals as they look to end the hopes of their title rivals.
Since the end of October, Chelsea have conceded two goals in a match on just three occasions, meaning that when Diego Costa and Eden Hazard are firing on all cylinders, it leaves little chance for the opposition.
That said, Costa has netted just twice in his last seven outings, while Hazard’s only contribution in his last five appearances is his wonder-strike against Arsenal.
Pedro is arguably Chelsea’s key man right now with six goals from eight games, but whoever takes responsibility in the final third, Swansea are up against it to halt Chelsea’s run of 11 successive wins at Stamford Bridge.
When Swansea first appointed Clement, many people suggested that he was not the right man to succeed Bob Bradley, but it is so far so good for a man who is attempting to prove that Derby County made the wrong decision to sack him just seven months into his reign last season.
The club have spent most of the campaign in the bottom three but the arrival of Clement has acted as the catalyst to move the team away from the dropzone, with Clement overseeing three wins from five games in the top flight.
After this game, they have a favourable fixture list with games against Burnley, Hull City, Bournemouth and Middlesbrough, but Clement will be solely focused on making a statement against a team where he has spent time as academy coach, first-team coach and assistant manager.

Chelsea Possible XI: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Cahill, Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso, Pedro, Costa, Hazard.
Swansea City Possible XI: Fabianski, Naughton, Fernandez, Mawson, Olsson, Cork, Carroll, Fer, Narsingh, Sigurdsson, Llorente.
