13'
Nearest Chelsea have come so far in this match. But a solitary rather than sustained example of attacking.

Torres heads the ball goalwards from Hazard's corner, but Britton was well positioned to knock the ball off the line. Fine defending.
11'
De Guzman doing well to win the ball from Hazard, but can't pick out a team-mate. Monk across to block the cross from Moses. Corner to Chelsea.
10'
Oscar overhits a pass looking for Hazard. Chelsea just out of touch at the moment with their passing not crisp enough in key areas.
9'
Swansea looking the tidier side on the ball before Davies gets an attempted cross all wrong. Ball flies out of play. Goalkick to the visiting side.
8'
Was Oscar who tried his luck with the free-kick, but the effort was blocked. Not much action around either goalmouth at the moment.
7'
Decent delivery by De Guzman, but that is a solid clearing header by Torres before Ivanovic sweeps a cross clear from Davies.
6'
Lovely run into the visiting box by Pablo after the free-kick comes to nothing. Swansea have a corner here to be floated over by De Guzman.
5'
Oscar taken out of the action late by Britton and Chelsea have a free-kick from 25 yards out.
4'
Swansea have lost once in four Premier Legaue home matches against traditional big four clubs last season, when Manchester United won 1-0 at the Liberty Stadium in November 2011.
3'
Both teams making a cagey start feeling each other out in keeping possession. Ivanovic forced to prod the ball away from the centre of his goal ahead of Michu.
2'
Victor Moses makes his first Premier League start for Chelsea. He has two goals and two assists in his last four Premier League starts at Wigan last season.

Almost ready to go in this one then. Swansea in white, Chelsea in blue.
14.55
Michael Laudrup (Swansea): "I'm much more concerned about the Southampton game because after three big games we have to play Southampton away. The result against Southampton is much more important than result on Saturday (against Chelsea). Of course I want to win both of them, but if you say to me I have to pick one of the two - yesterday, today and tomorrow I will pick the Southampton game."
14.50
Roberto Di Matteo (Chelsea) on the testing issue of referees: "I really hope they don’t treat us differently. I believe that they won’t. We have faith in the referees. People are under a lot of pressure, they’re human beings and sometimes mistakes happen.”
14.45
Odds if you fancy a bet on this match at the Liberty Stadium today: Chelsea 5/6, Swansea 10/3, Draw 13/5
14.40
Chelsea are unbeaten in their last four matches against Swansea, since a 3-0 away defeat at Vetch Field in the old Division One in April 1981. Chelsea have scored 14 goals in their last four matches against Swansea. Chelsea have won one of their last six league visits to Swansea – the 3-1 victory in November 1983.
14.35
In 20 league matches between the teams, Chelsea have won eight, Swansea five, with seven draws. Last season in the Premier League the teams drew 1-1 at the Liberty Stadium, and Chelsea won 4-1 at Stamford Bridge.
14.30
Chelsea are without David Luiz and Juan Mata while John Terry and Frank Lampard are also missing. Ashley Cole returns to the starting line-up while Branislav Ivanovic is back from suspension to take his place in the visiting side.
14.25
Swansea make three changes to the side that beat Liverpool in the League Cup in midweek. Angel Rangel and Ben Davies return to the full-back slots as Jazz Richards and Dwight Tiendalli drop out. Wayne Routledge replaces Nathan Dyer on the wing despite Dyer's goal at Anfield.
