Aston Villa face Chelsea in the Premier League with both teams looking to get back to wining ways after enduring disappointing recent results.
Chelsea will be looking to return to the league’s top four places with a victory. However, Enzo Maresca’s side travel to Villa Park in stuttering form following successive defeats to Brighton in the league and FA Cup. The Blues currently find themselves in sixth spot.
Villa, meanwhile, will be buoyed by a pulsating 2-2 draw with leaders Liverpool on Wednesday night but Unai Emery’s team will still be sore about being unable to see off 10-man Ipswich in a 1-1 draw last weekend.
The hosts have not won in the league for over a month and will go into their third successive Premier League home game hoping to bring that run to an end.
Here is how the two teams line-up for what promises to be an exciting encounter in the West Midlands.
