Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Premier League clash between Chelsea and Swansea. The Blues are targeting a fourth win in five games as they seek to narrow the gap between themselves and second-placed Manchester United to three points. But Paul Clement's strugglers are battling for every point and will be hoping to build on their 1-1 draw with Bournemouth at the weekend - a result they worked hard for to end a run of five consecutive defeats.

90'
FOUR minutes will be added on at Stamford Bridge. One more chance to come for Swansea, perhaps?!
88'
SWANSEA GO CLOSE!
Routledge, only on as a sub, dinks a lovely cross to the back post. It looks perfect for Bony, but he just doesn't react quickly enough and the ball rolls harmlessly out for a goal-kick.
85'
Kante fouls Fer and Swansea have a chance to deliver a free-kick into the penalty box.
Ki delivers but Alonso clears the danger with his head. The Chelsea defender has been another standout performer this evening.
84'
Swansea make their third and final sub, with Wayne Routledge replacing Ayew.
With five minutes of normal time to play, this is the last throw of the dice from Clement.

CLOSE!
Fabregas dinks in a lovely cross into the Swansea six-yard box, it is begging to be touched in, but it evades both Morata and Alonso.
Both players have their heads in their hands.
81'
Hazard runs around for a little bit with the ball, but eventually loses possession.
80'
Chelsea make a double change, with Hazard and Drinkwater replacing Pedro and Willian.

OIsson fizzes in a cross from the left channel, but it is too close to Courtois.
Swansea have been fine, they have passed the ball around comfortably enough, but offered little attacking threat. They have missed Tammy Abraham.
75'
And what a fine performance it has been from the Brazilian. The man of the match, as it stands.
74'
Moses comes on for his first appearance since the Crystal Palace game six weeks ago. He replaces Zappacosta.

Alonso darts into the Swansea box and is picked out by Willian. The defender unleashes a powerful shot, but Fabianski makes a good save and gathers on the second attempt.
72'
Ayew runs onto a loose ball and drives to the by-line, but his cross - or shot - is comfortably saved by Courtois.
Swansea are growing into this contest, a little.
71'
Victor Moses is preparing to come for Chelsea.
70'
They have just registered their first shot on goal and now Swansea are awarded their first corner of the evening. Morata is back to fulfil his defensive duties though as he heads clear from Ki Sung-Yeung's delivery.
68'
DELIGHT!
67'
Free-kick to Chelsea, Willian to take. It is poor, but Swansea gift the ball back to the Brazilian. He tries to bend the ball into the far corner, but Fabianski makes a decent save.
65'
Fer tries his luck from distance, but is never troubling Courtois.
Is that Swansea's first attempt at goal? I believe so...
64'
Clement makes his second change of the evening, replacing Mesa with Oliver McBurnie
