After dropping to the Swans in the Capital One Cup semifinals in a line that saw Eden Hazard slapped with a card after his infamous sideline party with a at the Liberty Stadium on Nov. 3 in the 2nd leg, the Blues is going to be truly be on their best behavior. But the really big motivating component here for third-place Chelsea (18-8-7, 62 points) against ninth-place Swansea (10-12-11) will undoubtedly be looking to get the gain and the three points as the three big London clubs jockey for position heading down the homestretch in search of these two valuable Champions League qualifying areas still up for grabs in the English Premier League. Fifth-place Tottenham Hotspur (18-7-8, 61 points) is likely to be at Wigan Athletic on Saturday (Fox Soccer Channel 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT) while third-place Arsenal (18-9-7, 63 points) can host group winners Manchester United on Sunday (Fox Soccer Channel 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT). The Swans and manager Michael Laudrup enter on a winless streak (0-2-3) and for Swansea, concluding in the very best half the table when it is all said and done is its stated purpose. On offense, the Swans have very nearly been a one-man band this year with Michu (17 goals) scoring 40 per cent of the club's 43 category goals entering this showdown with the soon-to-be former European champions. Jonathan De Guzman (5 goals), Luke Moore (3) and Nathan Dyer (3) would be the next three leading scorers for the initial Welsh group actually in England's top flighta'though they'll be joined by fellow countrymen Cardiff City next time after the Bluebirds won the npower ChampionshipAand acquired campaign early in the day this month. And there is no doubt within my head now that the Illuminati and the Audubon Society have now joined forces to be sure 1 day all teams in the Premier League may have bird nicknames following the new campaigns of Swansea and Norwich City (Canaries). So hang on tight Crystal Palace (Eagles), Leeds United (Peacocks), Nott's County (Magpies), Brighton & Hove Albion (Seagulls), Sheffield United (Owls), Bristol City, Swindon Town, Altrincham, Charlton Athletic and Cheltenham Town (All nicknamed Robins), there's still a cure for you. In purpose for the Swans, 29-year-old Dutch global Michel Vorma'who has been connected to possible summer goes to ArsenalAand Barcelona, but refused a rumored move to Liverpool the other day based on the Daily Mirrora'has had a solid period (six clear sheets), but must really be at his best here against a keen Chelsea part. Cash One Cup winners Swansea have now been pretty poor away from home (4-5-7, 15 goals for, 19 goals against), but Vorm and the Swans were defensive enough to generate a draw against the Blues in the team's EPL meeting on Nov. 3 at Liberty Stadium. Chelsea (10-4-2 at home, 35 goals for, 13 goals against) and interim manager Rafael BenAtez will be riding the high of Thursday's extraordinary 2-1 make an impression on FC Basel 1893 in Switzerland by which the effervescent David Luiz bumped home the late game-winnerAon a free activate the first leg of the team's Europa League semifinals line. A cup-tied Demba Ba, John Obi Mikel and Gary Cahill all lay out against Basel and could be element of BenAtez's beginning XI for Chelsea which will host Basel in the 2nd leg at Stamford Bridge on Thursday (Fox Soccer Channel, 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT). With so much at stake, the dynamic duo of Juan Mata (10 goals, 12 assists in EPL) and Eden Hazard (nine goals, nine assists) will surely maintain the Blues advanced midfield behind either striker Ba or Fernando Torres. And with the seemingly always-on Petr Aech in purpose, slightly more luck due its way and the strong home-field advantage, a way should be found by Chelsea to top the instantly anemic Swans in this one. The last time both of these groups met in West London last season, the Blues thrown to a win.A This game also needs to be relatively high-scoring whilst the posted whole (3) indicates. For the sake of its assurance, Chelsea (33 activities enjoyed )a'which still has a game in pay Arsenal (34 )a'needs to be at its best against Swansea here and not have any questionable choices from referees hinder its likelihood of getting that coveted Championship League berth. Estimated Swansea City starting XI: Vorm; Rangel, Chico, Williams, Davies; Britton De Guzman, Michu; Dyer, Routledge, Hernandez. Projected Chelsea starting XI: Aech; Azpilicueta, Luiz, Cahill, Cole; Mikel, Ramires; Risk, Mata, Oscar; Ba.
