Swansea City manager Garry Monk has paid tribute to Premier League champions-elect Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho's Blues have been criticised recently for apparently playing a boring style of football but Swans boss Monk certainly does not agree with the assessment.

"They have been excellent, by far the best team in the league," Monk said.

"They've got a fantastic squad and you can't tell me [Eden] Hazard, [Diego] Costa and [Cesc] Fabregas are boring to watch because if that's the case I'm not sure what we are expecting to see from football in the future."

Chelsea will clinch the 2014/15 Premier League title if they beat Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
