At least we play on Sunday afternoon having played on a Tuesday - should be enough time to rest for key players but not ideal. Expecting to win this fairly comfortably to be honest, Swansea have been shit since their league cup win.

[Mohammed Seif 1,451]

As much as i hate to say it, this match could be yet another banana skin for us. Because we only seem to beat Swansea at Stamford Bridge, and according to this we have only ever beaten them away from Stamford Bridge on 2 occasions. But as we know records are made to be broken, so i hope that's what happens here.

Be optimistic buddy.....It is Chelsea

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

To be honest I'm focussed solely on the Champions League since we are three games away from being crowned champs, but since we have Salah and Matic it makes our Prem run easier to manage.

Cech

Brana - Cahill - Terry - Cole

Matic - Luiz

Salah - Willian - Schurrle

Ba

I start Ashley Cole at LB because he will need match fitness since he'll be playing in the semis in a few weeks. I think Ba is pretty self-explanatory and Matic/Luiz for solidity.

[Laylabelle 9,359]

Urgh Swansea!!!Hope they have less prattish ball boys this time!!Toughie toughie

[Esam 60]

Unfortunately luiz is better for the big games so he shouldn't play imo.

Matic-lampard pivot has worked for small games

Willian needs a rest, he must be knackered after yesterday, so

Salah - oscar - schurrle (everyone in their true positions)

With Ba upfront (we can't afford to start with torres again, and ba deserves a chance)

Hopefully, liverpool win city and put us strongly back into the title race, then we win here 2-0

I just would love to see Luiz .. ev.body expects to see him benched but I think he'll be our surprise element

we should do something unexpected against a coach like theirs ..

[The_Flash 1,144]

The league is probably gone but let's try and finish strong just for us, Swansea can be a bogey team and we must be strong as against Stoke

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Its not gone yet, if we win our last 6 we finish with 87 points which falls within normal EPL league winning tally since 2005(86-89points)

[The Chels 2,502]

Well it was great while it lasted... Ramires has now completed his PL and CL suspensions. Sigh!

[Mohammed Seif 1,451]

Its not gone yet, if we win our last 6 we finish with 87 points which falls within normal EPL league winning tally since 2005(86-89points)

We have got only 5 to go actually. I believe we can do it. Not a walk in the park but that is always the case if you want to be the champion.

[haranr 485]

Since that defeat in Paris I just feel like we have changed. I am sure we are going to win this game. The team has got the "balls".

[Drogzola 283]

I am sure the ball boys are glad that Hazard will be missing the match.

[didierforever 7,349]

Th best we can do is win our match and pray for city to lose or atleast draw.

#HOPE.

[Strike 7,217]

Would start both Salah and Matic here. Both fresh and Salah in particular looked good last week

[LeonDavis23 371]

I can't see Liverpoo even getting close to a draw let alone a win

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Well we play away, with no Hazard against a team in bad form. That could be another howler, but I hope we can win.
