Aston Villa go into their third successive Premier League home game looking for their first win.
A pulsating 2-2 draw with leaders Liverpool on Wednesday night was not a bad result but Villa will still be sore about being unable to see off 10-man Ipswich in a 1-1 draw last weekend.
Chelsea’s form has dipped of late and they were abysmal in last Friday’s 3-0 thrashing at Brighton.
Enzo Maresca is starting to feel a little bit of heat at Stamford Bridge and the Italian will be eager to get his side’s season back on track with a win.
