Aston Villa head into the game on an impressive run of form. They have won three and drawn one of their last four league outings.
Their last outing was a 3-0 drubbing of Bournemouth and whilst they remain 11th in the division, that victory moved them to within four points of a European place.
Granted, it may be too late for them to mount a proper European challenge, but a win over Chelsea this weekend would give them a huge boost.
Like Villa, Chelsea sit four points off a European spot, with Champions League football now very much out of the question for Graham Potter’s side.
