Fernando Torres has been preferred to Demba Ba for Chelsea's League Cup semi-final clash against Swansea City this evening.
The Spanish striker will be supported by a three-pronged midfield that includes Eden Hazard, Oscar and Juan Mata.
Meanwhile, Swansea's leading goalscorer Michu has been passed fit and will feature as a lone frontman.
As a result, there is no place in the starting lineup for Danny Graham, who has recently been linked with a move to either Sunderland or Norwich City.
Chelsea: Turnbull; Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Cahill, Cole; Luiz Ramires, Hazard, Oscar, Mata; Torres
Swansea: Tremmel; Rangel, Chico, Williams, Davies; Britton, De Guzman, Ki, Routledge, Hernandez; Michu
