Chelsea vs Swansea

Rafa Benitez is again set to rotate his side and make changes from the 2-1 win at Basel on Thursday night, with Demba Ba, John Obi Mikel and Juan Mata set for a return to the starting line-up.

David Luiz, who lined up in midfield in Switzerland and scored the winning goal, is likely to return to the Blues’ defence with Gary Cahill starting on the bench as he did on Thursday after recovering from a knee injury.

Swansea, meanwhile, have no injury or suspension issues so Michael Laudrup is likely to name the same side that drew 0-0 with Southampton. Neil Taylor is back in the Swans squad after seven months out with a broken ankle, but is likely to start on the bench as he did last weekend.

• Chelsea have not enjoyed playing the Swans recently, having failed to win any of their last four meeting in all competitions, drawing three and losing one.

• The Blues have picked up three red cards in their last five meetings with the Welsh side, with Eden Hazard’s infamous sending off for kicking a ball-boy the most recent.

• If Frank Lampard (pictured right) gets on the scoresheet he will have scored against 38 different teams in the Premier League, matching the record set by Andy Cole.

• Fernando Torres scored in this fixture last season but was sent off ten minutes later, with the Blues going on to win the game 4-1.

• Petr Cech has the best clean sheet ratio (0.49 per game) in Premier League history and one more will put him above David Seaman in the all-time clean sheet list with 141.

• Swansea have only one won of their six matches since winning the Capital One Cup.

• When Michu has scored, Michael Laudrup’s side have lost only two games this season in all competitions.
