There will be a big match in the EPL as Swansea City will be hosting Chelsea at Liberty Stadium on Tuesday January 31, 2012 at 20:45 CET. Chelsea's success to fix the defense and not conceded in the last four games in all competitions. But the west London club will face different challenges when face with a host Swansea City at Liberty Stadium on Tuesday (31 / 1).
Being one of the stronger clubs with the weakest back line of EPL this season, because conceding 25 times, the Blues are able to close ranks during January. Goalkeeper Petr Cech never once picked up the ball in the net on the matches against Portsmouth (4-0) and Queens Park Rangers (1-0) in the FA Cup, and the duel versus Sunderland (1-0) and Norwich City (0-0) in the Premier League. Ironically, those results were gotten although the defender Gary Cahill has not been played.
Swansea is a promotion team which also a solid team. They are sitting on the 13th position standing with 26 points, a good position for such a promotion team at leat they are not in relegation zone. Ferrie Bodde will be absent in this match as he got injury in the last match against Bolton with the final score 1-2 for Bolton.
Chelsea in their last match defeated QPR 1-0 in FA Cup last week with the goal scorer Juan Mata from the penalty kick. They sit on the 4th position of EPL with 41 points. In this match, they will be without Ramires, who injured his right knee while Didier Drogba is away on African Cup of Nations 2012 with Ivory Coast. AVB indicates the intention remains to trust Terry. He believes that Terry will still look professional when referring to his game face of Ferdinand and his colleagues at the FA Cup last weekend. However, if deemed not possible, AVB may choose a number option, which gave his debut for Cahill or shift Branislav Ivanovic to work along side Luiz.
