Chelsea begin the defence of their Premier League title in just under an hour when they take on Swansea City at Stamford Bridge. The team news is in ahead of the 5.30pm kick off…
Blues boss Jose Mourinho has reacted to Wednesday’s 1-0 friendly defeat Fiorentina by dropping summer signings Asmir Begovic and Radamel Falcao.
Begovic and Falcao both underwhelmed against the Serie A side. The former Stoke City goalkeeper was at fault for the game’s only goal, while Man United flop Falcao didn’t come close to opening his scoring account for his new side.
Thibaut Courtois comes in for Begovic, while Diego Costa has beaten injury scares to replace Falcao.
