Aston Villa Vs Chelsea Tactical Preview: Team News, Key Men And Streaming Links | OneFootball

Aston Villa and Chelsea will take on each other in a Premier League fixture this weekend. Both sides have shown good signs in recent weeks. It will be an intense 90 minutes considering both sides are fighting for a spot in the top four on the points table.

Enzo Maresca is also likely to name a 4-2-3-1 shape as usual. His side needs to work hard if they wish to control the tempo of the game. On the attacking front, they need to be more clinical if they wish to clinch the victory.

Pau Torres (ankle), Amadou Onana (thigh) and Boubacar Kamara (muscle) are unavailable while Ezri Konsa, Leon Bailey (both unspecified) and Ross Barkley (calf) are doubtful. On the other hand, Axel Disasi is eligible to play against his former club.

Aston Villa Predicted XI

Martinez; Garcia, Bogarde, Mings, Digne; Tielemans, McGinn; Rogers, Asensio, Rashford; Watkins

Key Men

Aston Villa

Youri Tielemans is putting in impressive work in the middle of the park while Marcus Rashford will be motivated to prove himself against the Blues.

If Enzo Fernández plays well, a lot of things will become easier for the Blues. On the attacking front, Cole Palmer has to deliver some magical moments.
