Team news
Swansea are expected to restore a host of players to their line-up having opted to make changes for the FA Cup exit at Bolton.
Swansea and Manchester City are the only sides not to have suffered back-to-back Premier League defeats this season, but the Welsh side will need to avoid losing to the Blues to maintain that record.
First-choice keeper Michel Vorm will be restored in goal while Neil Taylor should return at left-back ahead of Fede Bessone.
Wingers Scott Sinclair and Nathan Dyer are expected to start along with Joe Allen and passing machine Leon Britton.
Swansea's on-loan midfielder Josh McEachran is unavailable for selection against his parent club.
Chelsea will travel to South Wales without John Terry after the England captain was ruled out by a knee injury.
That means £7million January signing Gary Cahill should make his debut for the club alongside Brazilian David Luiz at the heart of defence.
Manager Andre Villas-Boas has midfield issues to contend with after Ramires damaged knee ligaments in their weekend FA Cup win over QPR.
He joins Jon Obi Mikel on the sidelines while veteran Frank Lampard is rated at only 50-50 to face the club he played for on loan some 17 years ago.
The Blues have completed the signing of midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, although the 20-year-old Belgium international will remain with Genk until the summer.
Predicted starting XIs:
Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Williams, Monk, Taylor, Dyer, Allen, Britton, Agustien, Sinclair, Graham
Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Cahill, Luiz, Cole, Romeu, Essien, Malouda, Sturridge, Torres, Mata.
Form guide:
Swansea: LDDWWL
Chelsea: DDLWWD
Injuries:
Swansea: Bodde
Chelsea: Terry, Ramires, Mikel
Referee: Kevin Friend
