Chelsea and Swansea, the only two teams with a perfect 100 per cent record after three matches in the Premier League, go head-to-head at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

Jose Mourinho’s Blues start favourites to beat the Swans on the back of an excellent home record and their high-scoring form which culminated in a 6-3 drubbing of Everton at Goodison Park in their previous league outing.

Loic Remy could make his first appearance in a Chelsea shirt following his close-season move from Queens Park Rangers.

The French striker admitted that he accepts the fact that he could struggle for a first-team role given the strength in depth that exists at his new club.

Swansea could be the revelation team of the season as they proved that their opening day victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford was no flash in the pan.

Manager Garry Monk has no doubts on the commitment of Wilfried Bony, even though the Ivory Coast forward is yet to get off his mark this season.

This is Swansea’s fourth consecutive campaign in the Premier League but they are still in search of a first victory over Chelsea in the top flight.

2014: Swansea-Chelsea 0-1.
2013: Chelsea-Swansea 1-0.
2013: Chelsea-Swansea 2-0.
2012: Swansea-Chelsea 1-1.
2012: Swansea-Chelsea 1-1.
2011: Chelsea-Swansea 4-1.

Aston Villa are also without defeat in these early stages of the championship, having amassed seven points from three matches.

This evening they face an acid test when visiting Liverpool who have six points after two wins.

Philippe Senderos is delighted with his move to Villa Park this summer as Tom Cleverley became Villa’s final signing after arriving on-loan from Man. United

Liverpool did find their form at Tottenham with a 3-0 triumph to keep pace with the top sides. However, Brendan Rodgers’s plans have been hit by an injury to striker Daniel Sturridge who has been ruled out for three weeks.

The best match this weekend should be the clash at the Emirates Stadium between Arsenal and champions Manchester City.

As FA Cup winners, the Gunners played City in the Community Shield last month and the Londoners won 3-0.

Arsenal will probably parade new signing Danny Welbeck against his former sporting foes in today’s early kick-off.

Tottenham, a point ahead of Arsenal, travel to the north east to play guests to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino told reporters this week he was upset some of his players were up for sale without his knowing over the summer.

Tottenham will again attempt to offload Aaron Lennon in January as they look to reduce their wage bill.

Tomorrow, Manchester United will have latest signings Marcos Rojo, Daley Blind and Radamel Falcao available when they take on Queens Park Rangers at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils will be hopeful to bag their first league win of the season as they look to bridge the gap with the early front-runners in the league standings.

Everton’s placing just above the relegation zone has been worrying the fans, even if these are still early days.

The Toffees will be on their travels to the Midlands to tackle West Brom at the Hawthorns.

Steven Naismith says he now feels he ‘belongs’ to Everton. The striker has been outstanding in the opening weeks of the new season.

Everton are sweating on the fitness of striker Romelu Lukaku for the trip to face his former club West Brom.

Everton’s James McCarthy said he is now fully recovered from an ankle knock that saw him miss training with Ireland.

West Bromwich boss Alan Irvine insists Claudio Yacob is in his first team plans.

Yacob was linked with a move elsewhere over the summer as West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace has called for the transfer window to be moved.

The Baggies chief believes it would be beneficial for clubs if the window closed earlier at the start of the season.
