Chelsea boss Benitez wary of Swansea in Cup semis

Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez is wary of facing Swansea City in the Capital One Cup semifinals.

Chelsea go into the tie on the back of their thumping victory over Leeds United.

Benitez said: "My priority is to win against Aston Villa now, enjoy today, and it will be a question of time if we can play at this level and win games it will be easier.

"When you go to a semi-final any team will be difficult. Swansea is a good team who try to play football, and because we are so close to the final their motivation will be there.

"The first thing I have to do is beat Swansea, but to win trophies is important for any manager. First we must concentrate on the semi-final and after that we can talk about the semi-final."
