Swansea manager Francesco Guidolin is hoping to improve on his dismal record against Chelsea counterpart Antonio Conte.
The pair first met in Italian football in the 1990s when Guidolin was a manager and Conte was a player at Lecce and Juventus.
Guidolin was a serial loser and Conte kept the upper hand when he moved into management.
'He (Conte) played with Juventus for 13 years and I managed Vicenza, Udinese and Bologna teams against him,' said Guidolin, who has managed only one win in nine games against Conte the manager, ahead of Chelsea's visit on Sunday.
