Swansea City vs. Chelsea: Date, Time, Live Stream Info and Preview

Premier League leaders Chelsea will be targeting an improvement in their away form when playing Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.

Jose Mourinho’s side have been perfect at Stamford Bridge in the league this season but have stuttered on the road over the past couple of months.

Swansea will certainly provide a test for Chelsea after the Swans put up an impressive performance, despite losing 4-2, at the Bridge in September.

Here’s all the information you need on where to catch the game and a closer look at Saturday’s Premier League fixture.

Date: Saturday, Jan. 17

Time: 3 p.m. (GMT)/10 a.m. (ET)

Live Stream: NBC Sports Live Extra (US)

TV Info: The match will not be broadcast live on television in either the UK or the US.

Chelsea have won just one of their last five away games in the Premier League, per the club’s official website, and were beaten 5-3 by Tottenham in their last away fixture.

Mourinho will demand an improvement on that record, especially after opening up a two-point lead over title rivals Manchester City by beating Newcastle 2-0 last week.

Thibaut Courtois was on the bench for that game due to a minor injury but should return to replace Petr Cech against Swansea.

Gary Cahill was given a rest as Kurt Zouma started at centre-half against Newcastle. Cahill should come back into the team. Cesar Azpilicueta was replaced at half-time due to a minor injury, so it would be no surprise to see Filipe Luis start.

Swansea have sold top scorer Wilfried Bony to Manchester City, per the BBC, but he would not have been involved anyway as the Ivory Coast striker is at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Bafetimbi Gomis started last week’s 1-1 draw at home to West Ham and should keep his place. Nelson Oliveira, who played alongside Chelsea’s Nemanja Matic and Ramires at Benfica, is pushing for a first start.

Garry Monk has confirmed that Gylfi Sigurdsson is carrying a foot injury, per the South Wales Evening Post. However, Sigurdsson should still face Chelsea.

With Jonjo Shelvey suspended and Ki Sung-yueng at the Asian Cup, Monk has the option to name an unchanged team on Saturday.

Chelsea have never lost to Swansea in the Premier League, per Soccerbase.com, and that run should continue at the weekend. It is highly likely to be an entertaining game to watch, but Chelsea should prove too strong.

Prediction: Swansea 1 Chelsea 2
