Two clubs in the top half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a match between Swansea City and Chelsea. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at Liberty Stadium in Swansea and can be live streamed here free.
What They're Saying
Swansea City manager Gary Monk (via BBC): "They're a fantastic team. Exceptional, world-class players all over the pitch. They have got an exceptional manager as well. At the start of the season, I said they were my favorites to win the league and I still believe that, albeit they have got competition from teams around them."
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho (via Sky Sports): "I am happy to admit my mistakes, so when I spoke with Kevin Friend and realized that it was my mistake and not his mistake, I was more than happy to apologize, so there are no problems."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With the transfer of Wilfried Bony to Manchester City, Swansea now rely on Bafetimbi Gomis for production atop the formation. In 17 league appearances, however, the 29-year-old boasts just one goal.
Swansea City's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Taylor, Williams, Fernandez, Richards; Carroll, Britton; Routledge, Sigurdsson, Dyer; Gomis
Chelsea's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Cech; Luis, Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic; Fabregas, Matic; Hazard, Oscar, Willian; Costa
