Team News: Petr Cech, Felipe Luis start for Chelsea at Swansea City

Petr Cech and Felipe Luis both start for Chelsea against Swansea City, while Nelson Oliveira makes his full debut for the hosts.

Jose Mourinho has included Petr Cech and Felipe Luis in the Chelsea starting XI for this afternoon's Premier League clash with Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium.

Cech continues to keep Thibaut Courtois on the bench, while Luis has replaced the injured Cesar Azpilicueta at left-back.

Kurt Zouma's impressive showing in the 2-0 win over Newcastle United last weekend has ensured that he keeps his place in central defence while Gary Cahill remains among the substitutes.

Meanwhile, Swansea boss Garry Monk has made just two changes from the team that drew 1-1 with West Ham United last Saturday.

Nelson Oliviera makes his first Swans start as he replaces Leon Britton, while Dwight Tiendalli has come in for Angel Rangel at right-back.

Bafetimbi Gomis leads the line in the absence of Wilfried Bony, who departed for Manchester City in a £28m transfer on Wednesday.

Swansea: Fabianski; Tiendalli, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor; Carroll, Sigurdsson; Dyer, Oliveira, Routledge; Gomis
Subs: Tremmel, Rangel, Amat, Bartley, Fulton, Emnes, Barrow

Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry (c), Filipe Luis; Matic, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Costa
Subs: Courtois, Zouma, Mikel, Ramires, Schurrle, Salah, Remy
