After as many as nine midfielders registered double-figure Fantasy Premier League (FPL) hauls in yesterdayโ€™s eight matches, all eyes turn to the Liberty as Chelsea look to extend their 100% start under Antonio Conte.

Eden Hazard carries the armband hopes of many going into the 4pm kick-off. The Belgian topped our Gameweek 4 Captain Poll with 25% of the votes cast after producing points in all three opening fixtures.

Diego Costa has matched Hazard for consistency so far and was drafted in by over 362,000 FPL managers last week as the search to replace the suspended Sergio Aguero intensified.

Thereโ€™s no real surprise to see that Chelsea are unchanged from the XI that swept aside Burnley at the Bridge last time around. This means that new boys David Luiz and Marcos Alonso have to make do with a place on the bench.

For the hosts, Francesco Guidolin makes two changes, with Neil Taylor and Ki Sung-yeung coming in for wide men Mo Barrow and Wayne Routledge.

Stephen Kingsley is named in the starting XI for the fourth successive Gameweek, then, raising hopes that โ€“ along with team-mate Jordi Amat โ€“ he will continue to offer us one of the few viable options in the sub 4.5 price bracket.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Really hope Milner gets moved to midfield soon. Great attacking threat at 6.5M and perhaps nailed on pens. Even a LB he's better value than many in that range.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He's not getting back in. Can and Grujic ahead of him in CM, I reckon.

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Definitely not Grujic, Klopp is bedding him in. He's better than Henderson though.

      Nah.

    3. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He's fine at LB. Pretty average at CM.

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Covered the most distance last season of all the players and scored/assisted many goals for us. I would disagree.

    Still can't believe no CL team could lure Kante... This guy is sheer class...

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      London lights & $$$$

      1. stachman

        9 years, 7 months ago

        There is another team in London...;)

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Watford already had Ben Watson.

    How has Hazard started?

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He's on the pitch.

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Barely touched the ball

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years

      Done nothing.

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Wish I captained Alexis now.

    5. Lallana_
      • 12 Years

      Game has been tight space wise. Swansea playing a back 5 will make it difficult for Chelsea.

  4. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Pretty slow tempo so far......

  5. Malcolm Tucker for England …

    mad that 1 player from each of these squads won the league last season!

    1. Optimus.
      • 15 Years

      Nice, also Swansea have never lost a game when they conceded..

      STAT!

      Really?!

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He's left in a back 3. ๐Ÿ˜†

                  Exactly, sad creatures. Of course we're happy when players we don't want to do well don't score well, just no need to make other people feel bad about it. Douche move from anyone that lols @

                Even if the match finishes and hazard blanks there's no need to be a douche
