Chelsea v Swansea City: squad sheets

Mark Clattenburg returns to officiate at Stamford Bridge for the first time since last autumn's infamous racism row with Chelsea eager to transpose the momentum generated by their midweek win in Basel into the Premier League campaign. Swansea would appear to be convenient opponents given they have managed a solitary league win from six matches since claiming the Capital One Cup. "If we can play with the same intensity as we played in Basel it will be difficult for anyone to beat us," said Rafael Benítez, who will ring the changes yet again with Gary Cahill and Demba Ba expected to start. *Dominic Fifield*
