GK: Thibaut Courtois

Having signed a new five-year deal this week, the Belgian will continue as the club’s first choice stopper.

RB: Branislav Ivanovic

The Serb is set to keep his spot on the right side of the defence.

CB: John Terry

Terry will need to be on guard to keep Wilfried Bony at bay.

CB: Gary Cahill

The England man may be jaded after playing 180 minutes over the international break.

LB: Cesar Azpilicueta

The Spaniard is still playing well enough to keep Felipe Luis out of the side.

DMF: Nemanja Matic

Fans will finally be able to see what he is made of with an extended run in the side, where she will hold court in front of the defence.

LAM: Eden Hazard

The Belgian will hope to terrorise the Swansea right-back and lay on some chances for his striker.

RAM: Andre Schurrle

Hoping to put the narrow result over Scotland behind him, the World Cup winner can cause the Swans problems around the area.

CM: Cesc Fabregas

Revelling in his new role as a playmaker, the Spaniard will now feature in a more familiar role in central midfield.

CAM: Oscar

The Brazilian will be tasked with linking the middle with the side’s lone frontman.

ST: Diego Costa

Seemingly armed with a superhuman ability to recover from injury in the blink of an eye, the former Atletico man should once again lead the line.
