Team News
Swansea centre-back Chico Flores is available for the Capital One Cup semi-final second leg against Chelsea despite missing the win over Stoke at the weekend with a knee injury. Gerhard Tremmel will continue in goal ahead of Michel Vorm having started in all previous rounds of this competition. Chelsea's John Terry could make his first start since November, but Nigeria duo John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses are away on Africa Cup Of Nations duty, while long-term absentee Oriol Romeu (knee) remains sidelined.
Match Preview
Last night we saw Bradford reach the final of the Capital One Cup in the most unlikely of fashions - tonight, could we witness another upset? Swansea hold a 2-0 advantage from the first leg at Stamford Bridge after goals from Michu (who else) and Danny Graham sealed the win. Having lost just once in nine games, and just twice at the Liberty Stadium all season, Michael Laudrup and his men could perhaps be forgiven for being a little bit confident of reaching Wembley ahead of this encounter, but it would be wrong to underestimate Chelsea. Prior to the first leg, Swansea had only once beaten the Blues at Stamford Bridge in any competition, and that was a 3-1 Division Two victory when the clubs first met way back in November 1925. But at the Liberty Stadium it is a different matter entirely and their fans will be well up for this one.
