Chelsea comes into this game knowing it is a must-win. While Swansea is a solid squad, they are an opponent that Chelsea has to beat, especially at this stage in the season, with Manchester United and Manchester City each trailing by a mere point.

If Chelsea relinquishes their first-place position, it may be difficult to get it back, especially if they move down to third.

They will count on Juan Mata and Fernando Torres, both of whom have scored four goals in the Premier League this season, to continue leading them on offense.

But this match will come down to the two goalkeepers. Petr Cech has been outstanding for Chelsea, conceding just nine goals and saving 31 shots in his nine starts.

Last Saturday, in a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Man City, Tremmel came in with about 30 minutes remaining, and he is prepared to lead Swansea over the next eight weeks.

Vorm had been spectacular, but was hurt diving to save Carlos Tevez's game-winning shot in the 61st minute.

Before seeing Chelsea on Saturday, the Swans have a Capital One Cup match against Liverpool at Anfield, so Tremmel will get a little bit of preparation.

Swansea looked stingy against Manchester City last Saturday, and will hope to build on that momentum against Liverpool, so they should come out in great form against Chelsea.

Swansea also enjoys home-field advantage against Chelsea, but I don't think that'll be enough to hold off the European champions.

Chelsea, with Torres back is gonna defeat Swansea.
The combination of MAZACAR and Torres will be too much for the team from Wales.
Come on Chelsea!!

Bros Luiz is not ''a doubt''. He is serving a one-match suspension for having been booked five times this season. So Iva is most likely partnering cahill while azpiculieta continues at right back. Torres and Iva got one match ban each, and duly served that by missing the midweek Capital One Cup ''part-justice'' against Manure! Mata is fine too.

That notwithstanding, i don't trust Azpilicueta as a right back. He was shaky in the carling cup game against manchester united and his crosses were bad. I just hope he isn't another Bosingwa.

If chelsea no win this match make I fall down from Okra tree

winning in the Game of football is not absolutely based on empirical analysis and stats. chelsea losing today is not because the opposing team is overall a better team. its just something that must be.

As long as there is MAZACAR. No doubt about Chelsea's win today. Defense should be solid today I believe in our young defenders. Cole will be back on bench or starting line-up.
