Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Premier League clash between Swansea and Chelsea. The Swans are 17th in the Premier League, three points clear of the drop zone but with two games in hand, and will be hoping to make their top-flight status almost secure this evening. Chelsea's slim hopes of a top-four finish were boosted by Liverpool's failure to beat Stoke in the earlier kick-off, but can they take advantage?

FULL TIME

Chelsea hold on for the victory, with Cesc Fabregas' fourth-minute goal the difference. The Blues move within two points of fourth-placed Tottenham, who host Watford on Monday.

As for Swansea, well they weren't good enough today and are now only a point above the drop zone, with three games remaining.

90'+2

The tension is spilling over as Andre Ayew catches Cahill who goes to ground holding his head...

90'

SAVE!

Azpilicueta's poor clearances hands Swansea another opportunity, but Routledge doesn't generate enough power in his shot to beat Courtois.

There will be THREE minutes of added time to play.

89'

WIDE!

Carroll whips a first-time shot at goal from the top of the box... just wide! Courtois was struggling to get there.

That could have been the moment for Swansea.

88'

Willian slips a clever ball through to Morata but the Spain international is flagged offside.

86'

SAVE!

Mawson tries his luck from 25 yards but it's straight down the throat of Courtois. Time is running out for the Swans.

PENALTY APPEAL!

Cahill with a perfectly-timed tackle on Dyer! But there's strong appeals for a Swansea penalty... Jon Moss signals play on. Right decision.

78'

Swansea applying some real pressure on the visitors now.

Naughton rifles a powerful effort at goal from the edge of the box but this time it's straight at Courtois.

76'

WIDE!

Cahill gives Andre Ayew too much space as the Swansea forward shifts the ball onto his left foot and opens his body up but his curled effort from the edge of the box drifts inches wide of Courtois' post!

74'

MISS!

Hazard's shot takes a deflection off Mawson and the ball falls kindly to Moses who only needs to touch it in... but he pokes it wide!

73'

CHANCE! Cahill and Courtois both miss the corner delivery, and it comes to Jordan Ayew who can only loop his header over the net.

72'

Swansea win a corner, after a clever one-two between Dyer and Carroll.

71'

SAVE!

What a goal that would have been for Chelsea! Emerson picks up the ball in his own half and he keeps going and going, running at the Swansea defence. He creates space for a shot on the edge of the box but it's straight at Fabianski.

69'

OFFSIDE!

Azpilicueta floats a cross to Hazard but he can only head it straight at Fabianski. It wouldn't have counted anyway, as the Belgian had strayed offside.

67'

Bakayoko cross/shot goes behind for a goal-kick, which is bound to add to Conte's frustations.
