Can Swansea repeat last season's efforts?
Chelsea v Swansea 17:30 (BST)
Don't forget that Swansea achieved a record Premier League points tally (56) under Garry Monk last season. Can they reach those heights again under the canny boss?
So it's been a relatively quiet summer in the transfer market for Chelsea. Does that mean it will be closer at the top than last season when they won the title with three games to spare?
Statistically, Chelsea are the best 'opening day' team in Premier League history with a record of P23 W15 D5 L3. Wonder if Thibaut Courtois's problems will make any dent on that?
Problems for Courtois?
Chelsea v Swansea 17:30 (BST)
Thibaut Courtois has been kicking a few balls around after an injury in the warm-up and is now off down the tunnel. He's also had a quiet word with Asmir Begovic, who could be in line to make an early debut and is out on the pitch warming his hands with a few shots.
Swans feeling fresher?
Chelsea v Swansea 17:30 (BST)
Last season was an impressive one for Swansea, despite finished eighth some 31 points behind Chelsea. However, one thing may be in their favour this evening. Former Liverpool fitness coach Darren Burgess told me this week that teams who have travelled less in pre-season can often start the season well. Chelsea clocked up 9,800 miles on their trip to north America, while Swansea opted for a shorter trip to Germany, racking up just 1,900 miles in comparison.
Problems for Courtois?
Chelsea v Swansea 17:30 (BST)
Well, Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is in the team, but he is getting treatment after appearing to hurt himself in the warm-up. He's up and about but we will keep you posted on his condition.

Chelsea make two changes to the team which lost to Arsenal in the Community Shield last Sunday. Diego Costa is fit after his latest hamstring problem while Oscar replaces Ramires.
Swansea boss Garry Monk hands a debut to forward Andre Ayew after his move from Marseille in June. But defender Jordi Amat has not recovered in time from a broken foot.
Let's see whether there are any changes to Chelsea's team since that game at Wembley....
Business starts here
Chelsea v Swansea 17:30 (BST)
That's right, for Mourinho and co, the real business starts here as the Portuguese manager, fresh from signing a new four-year contract, chases his fourth title with Chelsea. He's already had his first tiff of the season (with Arsene Wenger last Sunday), and he won't be keen on a similarly lacklustre performance in the 1-0 defeat by Arsenal.
Suited and booted?
Chelsea v Swansea (17:30 BST)
Last week at the Community Shield at Wembley, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho very much looked like someone who was still on his holidays. Will he don his suit as the champions kick-off their Premier League title defence?

Bafetimbi Gomis is played through, Thibaut Courtois catches him and Michael Oliver is sure of his decision. The Chelsea goalkeeper is off and Oscar is replaced by Asmir Begovic for his Chelsea debut.
HITS THE WOODWORK
Chelsea 2-1 Swansea
And an equaliser is tantalisingly close. Jonjo Shelvey whips over a low corner and it hits the near post. Thibaut Courtois was inching out of goal anticipating a deeper cross and looked very nervous as he clawed his way back.

Guess what Jefferson Montero has it once more and wins another corner.

A subsequent Swansea corner is headed over by Federico Fernandez, who beats John Terry in the air, and has plenty of reasons to get on the scoresheet.

Gylfi Sigurdsson's free-kick has plenty of fizz but clips off the top of the wall for a corner. That set-piece arrives at the feet of Bafetimbi Gomis, but he is wasteful again.

Jefferson Montero is on the attack again and draws a foul, about 25 yards out. Interesting.

HALF-TIME
Chelsea 2-1 Swansea
No holding back
Chelsea 2-1 Swansea
If you want an illustration of the tempo of this game, Willian has made 41 sprints in the first half, more than any other player. Memphis Depay was the leading sprinter in Manchester United's win over Tottenham, with 42, and that was in 68 minutes.
Have some of that!
Chelsea 2-1 Swansea
You can't accuse the two teams of serving up a continuation of pre-season. Plenty of action in both boxes.

A balmy glow at Stamford Bridge as referee Michael Oliver brings the half to a close. A very good one too. Swansea perhaps unlucky to be behind.
YELLOW CARD
Chelsea 2-1 Swansea
Jack Cork, a former Chelsea academy graduate, brings down Willian, who was in danger of breaking away. Tactical foul.

Oscar delivers the free-kick, but it is nodded away by the Swansea defence. Three minutes of stoppage time.

The secret to this game so far has been good wing play. Jefferson Montero is doing the damage down Swansea's left, Eden Hazard down Chelsea's but here is the Belgian on the right wing now and wins a free-kick.

Our friends at Opta say that Andre Ayew has scored in eight of his last 14 league game (in France and England), including four of his last six.
SUBSTITUTION
Chelsea 2-1 Swansea
Jose Mourinho looking on pensively in the west London evening sunshine. His defence is looking vulnerable. Ki Sung-yueng is coming off and is replaced by Jack Cork.

Good point Joseph. I didn't do Andre Ayew's debut goal justice. He dragged the ball back superbly to make room for his finish. Ki Sung-yueng is down with what looks like a hamstring problem.

If you haven't watched him before, Ecuador's Jefferson Montero is a great player to watch on Swansea's left wing . He is giving Branislav Ivanovic a good run for his money already.

Frantic tempo to this game but in amongst the chaos, Swansea have been creating chances and they will feel they can score again.

Andre Ayew and Federico Fernandez have now scored their first goals for Swansea. Unfortunately for the latter, it was not as memorable as for the former.
GOAL - Chelsea 2-1 Swansea - Fernandez OG
Heartbreak for Swansea. 90 seconds after drawing level, they are behind again and it's a fluke goal. Willian crosses low into the box and Federico Fernandez deflects the ball up and lopping over Lukasz Fabianski's head. Cruel.
GOAL - Chelsea 1-1 Swansea - Ayew
Wow. Jefferson Montero crosses into the box, Thibaut Courtois saves Bafetimbi Gomis's header, but Andre Ayew tucks in the rebound on his debut.

Cesc Fabregas, great player as he is, does frustrate at times. Twice now he has been in good positions to shoot but opts for a more difficult option. He used to play for Arsenal and Barcelona, don't you know.

Chelsea 1-0 Swansea
The flow of the game has changed now. Chelsea more comfortable as Swansea begin to stand off their opponents. Willian flashes an angled shot wide from 25 yards.
Post update
Chelsea 1-0 Swansea
Chelsea defender Gary Cahill was inches from nudging that goal in, which probably put Lukasz Fabianski off. Swansea fans may wonder why no-one was at the near post to clear.
GOAL - Chelsea 1-0 Swansea - Oscar
Oscar takes a free-kick from deep on the left, he hits it low and no-one touches it as it fizzes in at the back post. Disappointing for Swans keeper Lukasz Fabianski.

Great start to this match. In amongst all that Swansea's Ki Sung-yueng also had a shot beaten away by Thibaut Courtois. Swansea are showing no fear at Stamford Bridge.
Penalty appeal
Chelsea 0-0 Swansea
Oscar plays Chelsea's Diego Costa through now but Federico Fernandez stretches within an inch of his life to clip the ball behind for a corner. Costa is livid, he thinks it's a penalty and smashes the ground in frustration.

Great chance for Bafetimbi Gomis again! This time he is played through by Jonjo Shelvey, clean through on goal but dawdles on the ball and Chelsea recover.

Former England midfielder
"I think Chelsea are the team to beat, they have to be. They set such high standards last season.
"Manchester City are the best equipped to challenge them. Their squad is strong. Fabian Delph is a terrific signing, Raheem Sterling is a good signing but he needs to improve and find a position in that side."

Andre Ayew, Swansea's June capture from Marseille, has started on the right for the Swans and is being ably supported by right-back Kyle Naughton as Jonjo Shelvey fires in a low cross which Thibaut Courtois gathers.

Nice tempo to this game as Eden Hazard, who looked lacklustre last weekend, slips a ball through to Diego Costa but it's just too heavy for his team-mate as Lukasz Fabianski intercepts.
CLOSE!

Oscar plays a lovely ball through to Diego Costa, who cannot reach it. But the Brazilian midfielder Oscar has taken a knock to the face from Ki Sung-yueng. He's up and about and seems fine now.

Chelsea pressing from the front, a clear increase in tempo from the Community Shield last Sunday. Oh yeah, and Jose Mourinho means business. He's wearing a suit.

Nice touch by Oscar sets up a counter attack as Willian wins a corner. Swansea clear at the near post and Diego Costa, sporting a nice new haircut, cannot keep the ball in after a subsequent cross.

"Garry Monk will look to make further inroads into the top 10 and key to his hopes will be how Andre Ayew, who could be a real coup on a free transfer from Marseille, settles to his task.
"He could form a productive link with Bafetimbi Gomis, if he stays, and elsewhere this Swansea side looks a good mix of all the qualities needed to be in the top half again, led by one of the Premier League's emerging young managers."
Courtois looks cool
Chelsea v Swansea 17:30 (BST)
Thibaut Courtois is down the tunnel and looks fine to start after injuring his right knee in the warm-up. Panic over.

This was Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois before he was injured in the warm-up. The players have disappeared now so we are waiting to see if the Belgian will play?

Don't forget that Swansea achieved a record Premier League points tally (56) under Garry Monk last season. Can they reach those heights again under the canny boss?

So it's been a relatively quiet summer in the transfer market for Chelsea. Does that mean it will be closer at the top than last season when they won the title with three games to spare?

Statistically, Chelsea are the best 'opening day' team in Premier League history with a record of P23 W15 D5 L3. Wonder if Thibaut Courtois's problems will make any dent on that?
Problems for Courtois?
Chelsea v Swansea 17:30 (BST)
Thibaut Courtois has been kicking a few balls around after an injury in the warm-up and is now off down the tunnel. He's also had a quiet word with Asmir Begovic, who could be in line to make an early debut and is out on the pitch warming his hands with a few shots.
Swans feeling fresher?
Chelsea v Swansea 17:30 (BST)
Last season was an impressive one for Swansea, despite finished eighth some 31 points behind Chelsea. However, one thing may be in their favour this evening. Former Liverpool fitness coach Darren Burgess told me this week that teams who have travelled less in pre-season can often start the season well. Chelsea clocked up 9,800 miles on their trip to north America, while Swansea opted for a shorter trip to Germany, racking up just 1,900 miles in comparison.
Problems for Courtois?
Chelsea v Swansea 17:30 (BST)
Well, Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is in the team, but he is getting treatment after appearing to hurt himself in the warm-up. He's up and about but we will keep you posted on his condition.
Team news
Chelsea v Swansea 17:30 (BST)
Chelsea make two changes to the team which lost to Arsenal in the Community Shield last Sunday. Diego Costa is fit after his latest hamstring problem while Oscar replaces Ramires.
Swansea boss Garry Monk hands a debut to forward Andre Ayew after his move from Marseille in June. But defender Jordi Amat has not recovered in time from a broken foot.
Chelsea XI: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Matic, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Costa.
Swansea XI: Fabianski, Naughton, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor, Ki Sung-Yueng, Shelvey, Sigurdsson, Ayew, Montero, Gomis.

Let's see whether there are any changes to Chelsea's team since that game at Wembley....
Business starts here
Chelsea v Swansea 17:30 (BST)
That's right, for Mourinho and co, the real business starts here as the Portuguese manager, fresh from signing a new four-year contract, chases his fourth title with Chelsea. He's already had his first tiff of the season (with Arsene Wenger last Sunday), and he won't be keen on a similarly lacklustre performance in the 1-0 defeat by Arsenal.
Suited and booted?
Chelsea v Swansea (17:30 BST)
Last week at the Community Shield at Wembley, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho very much looked like someone who was still on his holidays. Will he don his suit as the champions kick-off their Premier League title defence?
