Oscar plays Chelsea's Diego Costa through now but Federico Fernandez stretches within an inch of his life to clip the ball behind for a corner. Costa is livid, he thinks it's a penalty and smashes the ground in frustration.

Great chance for Bafetimbi Gomis again! This time he is played through by Jonjo Shelvey, clean through on goal but dawdles on the ball and Chelsea recover.

"I think Chelsea are the team to beat, they have to be. They set such high standards last season. 

"Manchester City are the best equipped to challenge them. Their squad is strong. Fabian Delph is a terrific signing, Raheem Sterling is a good signing but he needs to improve and find a position in that side."

Andre Ayew, Swansea's June capture from Marseille, has started on the right for the Swans and is being ably supported by right-back Kyle Naughton as Jonjo Shelvey fires in a low cross which Thibaut Courtois gathers. 

Nice tempo to this game as Eden Hazard, who looked lacklustre last weekend, slips a ball through to Diego Costa but it's just too heavy for his team-mate as Lukasz Fabianski intercepts.

Bafetimbi Gomis beats Branislav Ivanovic to the set-piece and heads narrowly wide. Very close.

Oscar plays a lovely ball through to Diego Costa, who cannot reach it. But the Brazilian midfielder Oscar has taken a knock to the face from Ki Sung-yueng. He's up and about and seems fine now. 

Chelsea pressing from the front, a clear increase in tempo from the Community Shield last Sunday. Oh yeah, and Jose Mourinho means business. He's wearing a suit. 

Nice touch by Oscar sets up a counter attack as Willian wins a corner. Swansea clear at the near post and Diego Costa, sporting a nice new haircut, cannot keep the ball in after a subsequent cross. 

Swansea get us under way.

Right, the players are out, Stamford Bridge is bouncing and we are almost ready.

"Garry Monk will look to make further inroads into the top 10 and key to his hopes will be how Andre Ayew, who could be a real coup on a free transfer from Marseille, settles to his task.

"He could form a productive link with Bafetimbi Gomis, if he stays, and elsewhere this Swansea side looks a good mix of all the qualities needed to be in the top half again, led by one of the Premier League's emerging young managers."

Thibaut Courtois is down the tunnel and looks fine to start after injuring his right knee in the warm-up. Panic over. 

This was Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois before he was injured in the warm-up. The players have disappeared now so we are waiting to see if the Belgian will play?

Don't forget that Swansea achieved a record Premier League points tally (56) under Garry Monk last season. Can they reach those heights again under the canny boss?

So it's been a relatively quiet summer in the transfer market for Chelsea. Does that mean it will be closer at the top than last season when they won the title with three games to spare?

Statistically, Chelsea are the best 'opening day' team in Premier League history with a record of P23 W15 D5 L3. Wonder if Thibaut Courtois's problems will make any dent on that? 

Thibaut Courtois has been kicking a few balls around after an injury in the warm-up and is now off down the tunnel. He's also had a quiet word with Asmir Begovic, who could be in line to make an early debut and is out on the pitch warming his hands with a few shots.
