"I think it's an exciting game for us. We're going to England's national stadium to play in front of a massive crowd against one of the best teams in the country," Clement told the club's official website.

"We have gone away from home recently against some very good sides, played well and picked up some valuable points. There's no reason why we can't do that again on Saturday."

The Swans were busy in the transfer market this summer, with notable departures including Fernando Llorente, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Jack Cork being replaced by Wilfried Bony, Renato Sanches and Sam Clucas.

"With the new players coming in, it takes a bit of time for things to re-align and that's something that is going on at the moment," he added. "But I have a nice feeling about this group and I think it will get stronger."
