Andre Villas-Boas's Chelsea look to hit back after their defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford as they host newly promoted Swansea City at Stamford Bridge.

AVB has said: "I am surprised that people have criticised us being for being naive and stupid at Old Trafford. What happened at Old Trafford was a negative result but you have to be fair and say that we were the best team. We were not the most efficient team but we were the best team. So I thought that was unfair, because we played with essence of football. It's strange that people who know about football don't know how to position themselves on what is best for football and best for fans."

Brendan Rodgers has said: "We need to respect the opponent, they have world class players. But we went to Arsenal last week and nearly got a result, and they are playing with a similar style to us. And for an hour against Manchester City we did very well against one of the top sides in Europe. We are learning all the time and we know you have to be collectively right, we are not naive enough to think we can open everything up like we do at home."

TEAM NEWS: Chelsea could change all 10 outfield players for the game against Swansea. A youthful Blues side were taken to penalties in their midweek Carling Cup third-round win over Fulham and manager Andre Villas-Boas is considering whether to rest everyone who started bar goalkeeper Petr Cech, who has recovered from the head knock suffered on Wednesday. Alex is suspended and Daniel Sturridge out with a knee problem, while Michael Essien is still recovering from a long-term knee injury.

Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers has no fresh injury concerns ahead of his team's trip to Stamford Bridge. Striker Danny Graham is set to be available after missing the 3-0 win over West Brom with a back complaint but may have to settle for a bench spot after Leroy Lita's goalscoring exploits against the Baggies. Left-back Neil Taylor has recovered from the blow to the head he suffered in a challenge with Peter Odemwingie.

Andre Villas-Boas has launched a stinging attack on TV pundit Alan Hansen, accusing the former Liverpool defender of taking "pleasure" in criticising his side. "It's just an unwillingness to make a correct comment on the game by having pleasure in criticising others," he said. "People like that go against their own principles. They don't know what to say and they basically just live by lowering others, which I find quite extraordinary."
