TEAM NEWS: Cole to come back in for Chelsea with Terry to be rested against Swansea
CHELSEA manager Jose Mourinho is likely to rotate his options for the Boxing Day encounter with Swansea, meaning Ashley Cole could start at left-back.
With the Blues facing Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday, Mourinho may opt to withdraw the likes of captain John Terry from the first line of battle.
Terry has played every league game this season and was hugely influential in keeping a clean sheet for Chelsea during the goalless draw with Arsenal.
Michael Essien is available after missing the Emirates trip through suspension, while his fellow midfielder Marco van Ginkel (knee) is a long-term absentee.
Chelsea squad: Cech, Ivanovic, Cole, Luiz, Essien, Ramires, Lampard, Torres, Mata, Oscar, Mikel, Schurrle, De Bruyne, Hazard, Ba, Willian, Schwarzer, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Eto'o, Blackman, Bertrand.
