Judging by Chelsea's current strength, defeating Swansea at home should not be a big challenge!
At the Pre-Match Press Conference
The head coaches of both teams expressed their confidence ahead of the match.
For Antonio Conte, his belief in his players was unwavering.
After their intense battle with Liverpool, Conte felt his players were more confident going into the game against Swansea.
"There is no doubt that tonight, every Chelsea player will perform well," Conte declared.
"Chelsea's goal is to win."
"This is Stamford Bridge, and I believe every player will put pressure on the opponent during home games!"
"Of course, Swansea are a strong team, but that doesn't mean we're going to lose. Every Chelsea player is prepared, and we will beat them!"
On the other side, Swansea coach Paul Clement was equally optimistic.
Although Swansea's squad strength could not match Chelsea's lineup, Clement had reason to be confident.
Swansea had rested during their previous match, while Chelsea were juggling a packed schedule of three games a week.
From a physical standpoint, Swansea's players had the upper hand.
"In terms of fitness, we have an absolute advantage," Clement stated.
"Chelsea has incredible individual players and won multiple championships last season, including the Premier League title. Beating a team like this won't be easy, but I believe every Swansea player will give their all tonight at Stamford Bridge."
