Chelsea
Chelsea started the season with a draw against Stoke City on Britannia Stadium, recorded 3 victories afterwards, to lose their most recent match against Manchester United on Old Trafford with 1:3. Despite the loss Chelsea played an outstanding match, created tons of opportunities, but was not able to score. Most crucial miss made Fernando Torres, after eliminating the goalkeeper, and shot wide on an empty net. Even so, many considered this game his best since he set foot on Stamford Bridge. Chelsea’s overall record reads W3 D1 L1, scoring 8 goals and conceding 6 in those games. The team played a game from Carling Cup this week against Fulham, won after penalties 4-3.
Swansea
Swansea managed to record their first victory the last round, at home against West Bromwich with 3:0. The team’s overall record is W1 D2 L2, scoring 3 goals and conceding 5 in those games. Four of those goals were conceded in the opening game against Manchester City, a match that ended 4:0 in favor of the Citizens. Followed two 0:0 draws and a knockout from Carling Cup by Shrewsbury with 1:2. Swansea is the first Welsh team in Premier League, and it will be important for them to survive in the league this season. Currently the team is 14th with 5 points, but a draw or a victory can send them 9 spots ahead.
