Blues looking for a third straight win over opponents who are now without a victory in seven games
Chelsea will hope to make it three wins in a week when they host Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge this afternoon in the Premier League. The Blues’ impressive start to life under Enzo Maresca has continued following the recent international break, with a dominant away win at struggling Leicester followed by 10 more changes in the Conference League as they battled to victory over Heidenheim in Germany on Thursday night.
Maresca restores his big hitters in west London today as they look to take advantage of an out-of-sorts Villa team who are winless in seven now after a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace was followed by a Champions League stalemate against Juventus in which they were controversially denied a last-gasp victory. It is their longest such run under Unai Emery, leaving them ninth in a congested table - four places and three points below Chelsea.
However, the Bridge has been a happy hunting ground for Villa in recent seasons as they look for their third consecutive league win on this ground for the first time since the 1930s. The hosts look to be playing Moises Caicedo at right-back, while Amadou Onana is out again for Villa as Ezri Konsa and Jaden Philogene start. Follow Chelsea vs Aston Villa live below!
