Swansea take on Chelsea at the Liberty Stadium in the second leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final tonight (7.45pm KO) and the draw makes most appeal from a punting perspective at 3/1 with bet365 and BetVictor.

The home side  have been excellent all season and stand on the brink of a first major cup final in their 100 year history following their 2-0 victory in the first leg at Stamford Bridge.

Michael Laudrup’s men  also come into the game on the back of an impressive 3-0 victory over Stoke at the weekend and are extremely difficult to beat on their home soil.

Chelsea have not been beaten on the road since December 1  – bar their trip to Japan – but I think that the pressure on them to win by three clear goals will prove too much and Swansea may well be able to punish them on the break to share the spoils.

Danny Graham, who linked with a move away from Swansea, has featured mainly from the bench in recent matches but  scored in the first leg as a substitute and looks worth a wager at 11/4 with 888sport to score anytime.

In the correct score market I like the look of 1-1, which is priced up at a best of 15/2 with BetVictor.
