Clement insists: Swansea not daunted by Chelsea trip

Swansea City boss Paul Clement says he and his players are not fazed by taking on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The Welsh club meet the Premier League leaders in West London on Saturday in desperate need of points to continue their push way from the bottom three.

Swansea have won three of their past four matches and have to take on Antonio Conte's powerful Blues who have won 11 from 12 at home in the league this season but that is not a major concern for Clement.

"We are not daunted by it, we go there confident trying to put on a good performance," he said.

"No one expects us to win. We have our own pressure on us, we have to improve. We are in a decent run and we have to keep that going with a performance even if we cannot get a result.

"People may see it as a shot to nothing for us. That might have been the case going to Liverpool and Manchester City, but I think they would say we gave them hard games.

"In both games we worked very hard and I think we could give anyone a difficult game in this moment."
