Opta Stats: Chelsea v Swansea

28Apr 2013

England - Premier League

 

Having been on Europa League duty in midweek, Chelsea now turn their attention back to the Premier League, where Swansea stand in the way of three valuable points.

 

If Frank Lampard scores in this match he will equal Andy Cole's record of scoring against 38 different teams in the Barclays Premier League. Lampard is 2.44 to find the net.

 

Chelsea have had three players sent off against Swansea in their last five meetings, including Eden Hazard for the infamous ball-boy scuffle in this season's Capital One Cup. You can find odds of 5.2 that a player will be sent off.

 

Chelsea have won none of their last four matches against Swansea in all competitions (W0 D3 L1). You can lay a Chelsea win at 1.37.

 

Chelsea's total of 66 goals after 33 games is their second best haul at this stage of the season after 84 in 2009-10. The Blues are 2.04 to finish in the top three.

 

Juan Mata has assisted 25 goals in 64 Premier League appearances for Chelsea. Mata is 2.44 to score a goal himself on Sunday.

 

Fernando Torres has gone 997 minutes without a Premier League goal. You can lay Torres to score at 2.06.

 

Torres scored in this fixture last season but was then sent off 10 minutes later. He then went 1035 minutes without a league goal. The Spanish striker can be backed to score at 2.05.

 

Swansea have won only one of their six games since winning the Capital One Cup. They are a distant 10.5 to win against Chelsea.

 

Petr Cech needs one more clean sheet to take third place in the outright list of Premier League clean sheets. Currently level with David Seaman on 140. Chelsea are 2.28 to not concede.

 

Petr Cech has the best clean sheet ratio (0.49) of any goalkeeper in Premier League history (140 in 287 apps). Chelsea are 2.3 to win to nil.
