Rodgers to cast an eye over Chelsea ahead of Swansea's visit

Brendan Rodgers says he is looking forward to taking on Chelsea with his Swansea City team this weekend.

The Swans opened their Premier League account with a 3-0 home win over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday but will face a much tougher opposition at Stamford Bridge.

Rodgers will watch the Blues - the club he spent time at as youth and reserves coach - tonight in their Carling Cup meeting with Fulham before making plans for Andre Villas-Boas' men for Saturday's meeting in Southwest London.

"They're one of the leading clubs in European football now," he told Sky Sports News.

"I was fortunate enough to work there for four-and-a-half years in one of the most successful periods in their history and [they're] a terrific club with great supporters and I really look forward to going back at the weekend.

"It's a fantastic club and I'm on my way up there tonight to watch their cup game."
