Swansea boss Rodgers waiting for Chelsea fixture

Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers is eager to see when they face Chelsea.

Rodgers is a former ­Chelsea reserve team manager and will no doubt be relishing facing his old club.

Next season's fixtures are announced on Friday and Swansea v Chelsea could be a clash of Rodgers against Guus Hiddink - that's if the popular ­Dutchman ­accepts the­ vacant job at Stamford Bridge.

The Swans were ­promoted from the ­Championship with QPR and Norwich.

The biggest welcome for any ­manager could be ­reserved on the opening day for Roberto Martinez, who turned down Aston Villa to remain at Wigan.
