Chelsea look to keep the four-match winning run going, in spite of a growing number of key injuries. A win is also necessary to keep in touch with the leading trio of teams.
Villa come in struggling for good results, but under-pressure Steven Gerrard could engineer a turnaround starting today.
Chelsea official Twitter’s lineup tweet suggests a 3-4-3 with Loftus-Cheek at wing-back and Mount in midfield, but we’ll have to wait and see what this actually looks like on pitch and who plays on the right flank.
