Kick-off is at 3pm GMT. Chelsea TV will have a build-up to the match from 1.30pm. Watch highlights of the game on Match of the Day on BBC One at 10.20pm.

Overview

The Blues are still the top of the league table, with 22 points from nine games. They lead both the Manchester clubs by a point, despite their controversial defeat last week, which saw red cards and a poor offside decision give the Red Devils a 3-2 victory at Stamford Bridge - their first win at the venue in over 10 years. But Roberto Di Matteo's men gained revenge over United in midweek, with a pulsating 5-4 win in extra-time to progress to the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

Swansea, on the other hand, started the season on a high under new boss Michael Laudrup. However, the Welsh side have found it hard to maintain their form and have won just once in their last seven league matches. They played well but lost to Manchester City 1-0 at the Etihad last week, when Carlos Tevez netted a late winner. However, the players will bebuoyed by their 3-1 League Cup triumph over Liverpool at Anfield in midweek. Swans midfielder Miguel Michu is currently the second highest goalscorer in the Premier League, behind Robin van Persie and Demba Ba, with six goals to his name.
