Juan Mata and David Luiz miss out on Chelsea's trip to Swansea, with Victor Moses and Cesar Azpilicueta getting the nod from Roberto Di Matteo.

Juan Mata and David Luiz have both failed to recover from playing 120 minutes in midweek and are not in the Chelsea squad for the trip to Swansea City this afternoon.

Mata is replaced by Victor Moses in the Blues' playmaking trio behind Fernando Torres while Cesar Azpilicueta comes in for Luiz, with Branislav Ivanovic moving to centre-half.

Oriol Romeu also starts for the league leaders alongside John Obi Mikel in midfield.

For the home side, Garry Monk replaces the injured Chico Flores in the only change from last time out as Michu continues his role at the spearhead of the Swans' attack.

Swansea: Tremmel; Rangel, Monk, Williams, Davies; Britton, Ki, De Guzman, Routledge, Hernandez; Michu

Chelsea: Cech; Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Cahill, Cole; Romeu, Mikel; Moses, Oscar, Hazard; Torres
