Your support makes all the difference.Antonio Conte has got off to a dream start to life as Chelsea manager with three Premier League wins from three as well as a League Cup second round win.
The Blues sit second in the Premier League table on goal difference as one of only three teams to have a 100 per cent record, with the other two, Manchester United and City, facing off against each other this weekend.
Chelsea, meanwhile are travelling across the Severn Bridge to South Wales to visit Swansea, a side they failed to beat in either of their two meetings last season, drawing at home of the first game of last season and losing the return fixture at the Liberty.
However, Chelsea look a completely different side to the one that managed the worst title defence in Premier League history last season.
The squad look completely revitalised and that is highlighted in their lack of injuries for this weekend’s match with the Swans.
Only Kurt Zouma, who has been out with an anterior cruciate knee ligament injury since February, is unavailable to Conte and not expected to return until at least the end of October.
Aside from Zouma, Loic Remy is the only other player restricted to the Chelsea treatment room after he returning to Cobham for treatment on a thigh injury he picked up only days after joining Crystal Palace on loan.
