That's all from me Rhys Turrell, head over Goal.com's primary site for all the a reaction to today's Premier League games. Until the next occasion, goodbye. The home area could have added to their tally in the 2nd, however they played it out in comparative ease and without expending much energy, which will delight Rafa Benitez as he looks ahead to Thursday's ending up in Basle at the Bridge. The home side was sparked by the introduction of Frank Lampard for the injured Ramires into life, and it was Oscar was set up by him who for the target, before slamming home a charge only a short while later. And that's it. Chelsea have believed an appropriate win here as a result of two fast first-half objectives which all but concluded this contest. 90a +2 Mata goes close having an in-swinging shot from the right part of the six yard field, but his styling energy is barely large of the far post. 90a +1 Neil Taylor did well since coming on at left-back, and his cross towards the far post is met by Angel Rangel, who pokes an effort towards target that will be comfortably saved by Cech. 90a We'll have three minutes of added time at the Bridge. 89a Cech is forced into a save your self as Pablo cuts in from the places a go and right straight at the Czech goalkeeper. A fragile effort, really. 88a Swansea's time has been outstanding actually. A cup gain and European qualification, however they have to be careful to keep some fight about them. A reduction today makes it six activities with no win. They will not want to finish the growing season on such as unpleasant run. 85a Five minutes to go, could Chelsea get themselves a third? They deserve it on this second half featuring. 82a Demba Ba gets yet another shot on goal after a massive punt forward from Petr Cech. The ball comes straight to Ashley Williams who mis-controls which sees Ba through on goal, but his first-time work from the side of the region is mis-hit and easily saved by Vorm. 80a There's vigorous applause from the absent end as Neil Taylor, who broke his leg earlier in the day this season, returns to first group action. A good player, it's good to see such a quick recovery. 79a Lampard gets his chance for a second, but his chest control in the area on the function is poor, and Vorm happens quickly to grab the loose ball. Great work from the England person, however it was a difficult move to control. 78a The atmosphere at the Bridge is very smooth, perhaps the house faithful are saving their voices for more challenging fixtures to come. A meeting with Tottenham within a few weeks could possibly be essential in determining who reaches the top four. 76a The interplay between Mata, Oscar and Hazard really is a delight on the attention when the triumvirate are in full force. They link up well here, but Mata's contact is just a little poor and the shift breaks down. 74a Petr Cech may well choose to get himself a seat to sit on in a minute; he's had almost nothing to accomplish this half, and has been a spectator for many of this match. 72a Mata is inches far from adding a third. The Blues cut Swansea aside and the ball falls to Mata around the penalty area, but his right footed energy is agonisingly large of the far post. Demba Ba was slipping in attempting to contact, but he too was just afraid of reaching the ball. 71a Ashley Williams needs to be sent off here, how his latest foul isn't a second yellow I'll never know. Demba Ba, who has dominated him all game, turns the Welshman on the halfway line and is away until his clothing is tugged by Williams. Very lax refereeing. 70a Yellow Card Mary Davies 69a Chelsea are simply beginning to shore a little bit here, with the overall game probably in the case for Rafa's side. They are retaining the ball well, and in Eden Hazard they've a player in fine, fine form right now. 67a P Guzman aimlessly hoofs the ball forward. Yes, you read that right. Not the Swansea way is it, and naturally, it stumbled on nothing. They are able to do with only upping the tempo a little here. The introduction of another striker will help also, but they are being opened up at the rear very easily, and I can't imagine Michael Laudrup may wish to be on the finish of a large beat. 66a Liam Twomey reports: "Swansea are showing real fight in this 2nd half, and this is now a serious lively game. Chelsea look eager for more targets however, and Vorm had been called upon to produce one exceptional save to refuse Ba." 64a Terry and Cahill come forward for a corner which Mata swings into the place, but Williams rises well to mind clear. 62a Mata, who has been a little quiet today, drifts a gentle ball outrageous to Ba who is merely inside the region, nevertheless the Senegalese is unable to play reduces and bring his pass in order. 60a After this type of sterling efficiency, Frank Lampard very not exactly was the villain only now after a clumsy backpass was intercepted by De Guzman. Unfortunately for the Swansea guy, he trod on the ball as he tried to manage it and the chance went begging, and exactly what a chance it was, he was virtually through on purpose. 58a Chelsea win the ball and counterattack well. Threat picks it up on the left and represents itacross to Ba who drives a go low towards the far post from the corner of the region, only to see Vorm get a strong glove on it to side the ball away to safety. 57a Swansea are enjoying a great, smooth cause on the ball just now. The thing is they're too strong and certainly not hurting Chelsea. 55a Orange Card CAsar AzpilicuetaThat was an awful handle from the Spain opponent. And a booking was the very least he earned there. People have experienced red for less than that. 55a Angel Rangel concerns Cech at his near post with a picture from the corner of the area, however it is simply behind for a corner. He'd have inked well to score from there. 53a Brian Luiz shows he is able to be a midfield enforcer after having a crushing tackle on young Ben Davies. 52a A shot is got by demba Ba faraway from the best corner of the penalty area after dispossessing Williams. His energy was quickly stopped by Vorm, however. 51a The 2nd half has begun in while the first finished, with plenty of pacy play and efficient approaching quite similar way. We have the makings of a good 45 minutes here. 49a Lampard lets fly with a shot from selection which canons in to Ashley Williams. He is a big product, and he needed each of his large body to stop that effort. 48a Half-chance for the Swans here, as Michu gets in behind the Blues backline. He's forced large and must pass to Pablo who is in area on the edge of the region, but his energy on goal is well free from Cech's crossbar. 46a A positive start from the Blues and Vorm must come well off his line to grab a corner after some good hold up play by Demba Ba. 45a Swansea obtain the 2nd period underway. The largest news at half time? Well, that arises from elsewhere in London, as Arsenal get an early lead against Manchester United. If they hang on it'll produce a gain for Chelsea here even more valuable. Liam Twomey reports: "It is half-time at Stamford Bridge, with the house audience inviting Bobby Tambling onto the message with rapturous applause. He is still - only - Chelsea's all-time top scorer, but Frank Lampard's injury-time fee has surrounded him ever nearer to the report. That, along with Oscar's operator two minutes before, seems to own taken this game from Swansea, who were disciplined and extraordinary for 43 minutes." The Blues' intensity improved through the half, and their guide is deserved. The overall game changed on the introduction of Frank Lampard. His strong running through the midst of the frequency has included a better aspect to Chelsea's attack and he deserves his assist and target. Why don't you just provide a contract? to him His whistle is blown by the referee, and the 2 groups keep for the changing rooms. Chelsea have this game in the case now, and Rafa Benitez will undoubtedly be delighted that his part can take their foot off the gas in the second and preserve energy. 45a +2 Orange Card Leon Britton 45a +2 Charge Purpose Joe LampardGOAL! Chelsea 2-0 Swansea. Lampard converts from the location. The Blues legend bags his 15th purpose of the summer season as he exercises the punishment low to Vorm's right, but there was nothing the Dutchman could do about this. An excellent place stop. 45a Juan Mata swings in a large part but it is satisfied simply by the Swans. Play remains, and Chelsea win a charge as Mata dribbles in to the area and is fouled by Britton just in the box. It was naive play from Britton who tripped the Spaniard from behind. A punishment. 44a Aid Joe Lampard 44a Purpose OscarGOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Swansea. Oscar opens the scoring! Some excellent function from John Terry and then Frank Lampard items the Brazilian with a great chance he duly converts. Lampard went forward with the ball well through the center, and he enjoyed a through to Oscar on the right corner of the area, and he drilled a go past Vorm and in to the far corner of the web. Great goal, and probably deserved. 42a Liam Twomey reports: "Stamford Bridge suddenly wakes from its sleep again as Lampard surges upfield and causes Vorm in to an impressive save yourself low to his right. From the resulting corner, Cahill meets Hazard's devilish supply with a an unmarked header which flies inches on the bar. Chelsea are becoming closer." 41a From the resulting spot his head is got by Gary Cahill on the cross, but his effort is over the bar with the target gaping. You had expect him to report from there. 40a Joe Lampard pushes the ball forward through the middle of the frequency, and takes a shot from around 30 meters which can be turned around the post with a vast Vorm. Good shot, and a good save. 38a Yellow Card Ashley Williams 38a It's taken by Oscar and achieved by a header from Luiz, but his work from around the penalty area is wide of Vorm's article. 37a Oscar decreases holding his face after being blown off the ball by the towering Ashley Williams. He's reserved, which seems like a really severe conclusion. Chelsea now have a free of charge end on the part of the area. 36a Liam Twomey reports: "Michael Laudrup will really be happy using what he's seen up to now. Swansea haven't really threatened Petr Cech yet, however they are frustrating the creative skill in this Chelsea group repeatedly in the final third. If the home area have broken into the penalty spot their touch has been frustratingly wayward." 34a Lampard requires a chance that plagued some low-flying plane in the neighborhood area. His left-footed work from around 25 yards out is weak and never troubled Vorm. 33a Threat and Ba exchange passes and make an effort to strike and form, however, neither are really able to bring the ball under control, and Swansea obvious quite easily. Chelsea are only lacking a little fluency to their play. 32a Swansea's standout player to date has been the big Ki Seung-Yong in the center of these midfield. Not just is the Korean a real presence, he also offers and exceptional first effect and is good at moving the ball forward easily. 30a That guy Lampard are at it again as he rakes a out wide to Hazard, however, the Belgium adversary can't control the cross, and the move reduces. 29a Chelsea have moved up the pace previously couple of minutes, and perhaps that's due to the introduction of Lampard. He has performed greater than Ramires did; putting more approaching goal. 28a Chelsea get their first part of the day after some wonderful function from Ba, Mata and Hazard at speed pulls Swansea's defenders out of position. 27a Because they make an effort to drive home the ball a position of as several Chelsea participants, pandemonium in the Swansea region here simply take wild swings at the ball. Alas, it comes to nothing. 26a Oscar, who has been a little quiet up to now, finds herself dashing to the region on the right edge of the field, but he overruns the ball, and it goes behind for a goal kick. Bad play from the child there. 25a Pablo gets a shot on goal from the side of the Chelsea region, but he falls as he shoots and his work goes large of Cech's far post. 24a We're halfway through the opening time, and despite being 0-0, I have to state this is a huge respectable game. Both sides are very relaxed on the ball, and maintain possession well. 22a Swansea are looking good on the counterattack at the time, but confirmed have lacked a bit of quality in their play in the ultimate third. For Chelsea, it appears like Frank Lampard will soon be coming on for the hurt Ramires. 20a De Guzman takes the place, but it is well cleared by the Blues defenders. A cross has the box that is well flick-volleyed clear by Cole under some pressure from Michu. 19a Swansea win the first corner of the overall game as Ashley Cole heads a Ben Davies go over his or her own crossbar. Also, Ramires looks a little forlorn at the center of the park; he's receiving some medical attention for what looks like a dead leg. 18a Demba Ba has been very lively up to now, he looks fast and strong today, and you get the feeling he looks renewed after missing the game in midweek. 17a Liam Twomey reports: "Swansea are sitting straight back, taking in stress and challenging Chelsea to create some thing special. The hosts are doing their best to help. First, the ball just ran away from Oscar as an advanced interchange of passes with Hazard nearly saw him weave his way through the visiting defense, before Ba unleashed a fierce low drive which Vorm could just defeat away low to his left." 16a Vorm is forced right into a smart save yourself after a great shot from Demba Ba stung the Dutchman's feet with a shot from 25 meters after winning the ball well off Britton. 15a First proper url up between Oscar and Hazard, while they reveal a one-two on the side of the region, but, the Brazil midfielder can not get a handle on the move from the Belgian and the shift breaks down. 13a Swansea aren't playing just like a part with nothing to play for here, and that will not impress Benitez at all, who must be hoping for a straightforward afternoon in front of the visit of Basle on Thursday night. 12a They will have an excellent chance here though, as they gain a totally free kick just outside the area after Leon Britton fouls Demba Ba. 12a Mata and Luiz are standing over it. The Spanish person requires it and is goes flying into the wall. Fairly bad, really. 11a Really is very little activity to record here so far. Chelsea already look somewhat jaded to me, though by their performances this season, they develop from there and often start activities slowly. 9a A serious clear method used by Swansea here. They are a lot more than pleased to let Chelsea the ball in their own half, before pressing as a system when they enter Swansea's. It's proving effective up to now, with the Blues struggling to create much. 7a Ashley Cole has also made a strong start down the left, if the recent break he's had due to a hamstring problem might see him remain only a little fresher for the closing months of the year you have to wonder. 6a Chelsea have just started to impose themselves on the overall game a bit here, and with Gary Cahill favored to Branislav Ivanovic, they have an individual who is prepared to carry the ball out of defence with skill and speed. 5a Risk has got the first shot of the match, but his energy from around 30 yards is pleasantly gathered by Swans keeper Michel Vorm. 4a Having 'bigged up' David Luiz, I've to report he is had a bit of a ropey start to this game. His passing is a little careless, and like he must just settle down a bit here it looks. 3a A peaceful start here, with both sides enjoying periods of ownership deep in their own halves. 2a Mark Luiz has arranged in midfield for the Blues here. He's very talented player, and outstanding on the ball, so it will be interesting to see how powerful he can be. He aimlessly boots the ball into contact, when i type this. Peculiar. 1a John Terry tries an extended raking pass forward from the rear, but honestly, it is not very good, and goes behind for an objective kick. 1a Chelsea have the game underway. Remember you will get touching me through the entire game via Twitter @rhysturrell. Both teams are on the message, and we're just a couple of minutes far from kick-off at the Bridge. Liam Twomey at Stamford Bridge reports: "Juan Mata has just left the area after being presented with the Chelsea Supporters' Club's Player of the Entire Year award on his 25th birthday. Three important points today, though, would surely function as most desired present of all..." We're 10 minutes away from kick-off at Stamford Bridge. Therefore, time for many report predictions. I can not see past a routine home gain here, with Swansea having nothing to play for, and Chelsea anything to play for. I'll decide on a 2-0 win to the Blues. Michu, who tormented Chelsea at the Bridge in the Capital One Cup earlier this season leads the line for the Swans, with Routledge and Pablo assigned with playing on the flanks. Swansea: Vorm; Rangel, Flores, Williams, Davies; Britton, Ki, delaware Guzman; Routledge, Michu, Hernandez. Subs: Tremmel, Monk, Tiendalli, Taylor, Dyer, Moore, Shechter. Fernando Torres, fresh from numerous misses in Switzerland on Thursday, is fallen from the starting make, with Demba Ba taking his place. Frank Lampard and Branislav Ivanovic also fall out, with Oscar and Gary Cahill making starts, whilst Juan Mata is remembered in the place of Victor Moses. Chelsea: Cech; Azpilicueta, Terry, Cahill, Cole; Ramires, Luiz; Oscar, Mata, Hazard; Ba. Subs: Turnbull, Ivanovic, Bertrand, Lampard, Benayoun, Torres, Mikel Without further ado, listed below are the two sides, beginning with the hosts. I'm Rhys Turrell and I will be taking you through all the action at Stamford Bridge as the Blues look to enhance their Champions League qualification expectations, and Swansea make an effort to ensure they remain in the top half of the Premier League. Good morning and welcome to Goal.com's LIVE coverage of Chelsea versus Swansea.
