In the Premier League,
Swansea City host Chelsea at the Liberty Stadium. Swansea are sat in 13th position and have a 8 point cushion over the relegation places whilst Chelsea are in the final Champions League spot. Both sides have nearly identical league records in their last 8 league matches with Swansea picking up 12 points & Chelsea 13. The Swans have collected 20 points (out of a total of 26) at home & have only suffered one defeat against Manchester United in 11 games. They have won five & drawn five & impressively taken four points off North London duo Arsenal (3-2) & Tottenham (1-1). At home they are solid defensively with six clean sheets & only 6 goals conceded. Tricky wingers Scott Sinclair & Nathan Dyer have caused problems for every Premiership defence & in striker Danny Graham they have a finisher who has bagged seven goals so far. Chelsea have drawn three of their last four away league games & are in a real battle to gain Champions League qualification this season. Despite Andre Villas-Boas best efforts they still lack any real attacking fluency or cutting edge in their play. This was again highlighted in their last two matches with a 0-0 draw at Norwich & a very poor penalty decision deciding the FA Cup game against QPR after a dire affair. We can't see Chelsea beating Swansea in this one so
back Swansea +1 on the handicap market at evens.
