Team News: David Luiz made to wait for Chelsea debut

Luiz made to wait for Chelsea debut

David Luiz has been named on the bench for Chelsea's Premier League clash away to Swansea City on Sunday afternoon.

The Brazilian international, who returned to Stamford Bridge on transfer deadline day, had been expected to start the clash in Wales, but Antonio Conte has kept faith with the back four that has started the new campaign.

There are no surprises in the Chelsea XI this afternoon, with Willian, Oscar and Eden Hazard acting as the support for Diego Costa, while another deadline-day signing, Marcos Alonso, is also on the bench.

As for the home side, Fernando Llorente will once again lead the line with support from Gylfi Sigurdsson.

It appears that the Welsh club will line up with a five-man defence, meanwhile, with Kyle Naughton and Neil Taylor operating in the two wing-back positions against the London outfit.

Swansea City: Fabianski; Naughton, Fernandez, Amat, Kingsley, Taylor; Ki, Cork, Fer; Sigurdsson; Llorente Subs: Nordfeldt, Rangel, Van der Hoorn, Fulton, Britton, Montero, Barrow

Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Kante; Willian, Oscar, Matic, Hazard; Diego Costa Subs: Begovic, Luiz, Alonso, Fabregas, Moses, Pedro, Batshuayi
