Chelsea face Aston Villa in the Premier League and the confirmed team news is in from Villa Park.

Graham Potter’s side travel to the Midlands for another league encounter as they switch to domestic duty following Champions League action on Tuesday night. 

They overcame AC Milan at the San Siro to top Group E and extend their winning run to four games in all competitions, keeping three consecutive clean sheets in the process.

Chelsea are gathering momentum which has seen them climb into the Premier League top four ahead of a busy schedule prior to the World Cup break next month. 

They face a struggling Aston Villa side who are finding it difficult to pick up wins this term.

Steven Gerrard, who is under increasing pressure, has only picked up two wins from their first nine league matches.

Chelsea have injury problems of their own. Reece James, Wesley Fofana and N’Golo Kante are all out injured, leaving Potter to find solutions to key players being sidelined. 

The 47-year-old has been focused on utilising the whole of his squad, admitting: "Rotation has been important for us because it’s almost impossible to play the same guys every match. 

“It’s important for the group to feel they are close to playing, that they are pushing and providing competition.

"Delighted in that respect that you can make the changes and you can still get positive results."
