Chelsea vs Aston Villa Team News 

Mauricio Pochettino’s side has only managed to secure three points at Stamford Bridge out of this campaign’s three fixtures so far. Currently, Chelsea records five points, ranking 14th in the Premier League table. 

The only win Chelsea could get was against Luton Town, a side analysts say “are getting used to the Premier League.” Chelsea also suffered another 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge against Nottingham Forest, a side with a terrible record on the road. Their poor record on the road keeps the Blues in the bottom half of the table. Chelsea lost 3-1 against Westham. 

Pochettino’s side has nine players on the sidelines, including Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, Armando Broja, Carney Chukwuemeka, Marcus Bettinelli, Trevoh Chalobah, Benoit Badiashile, and Christopher Nkunku.

Aston Villa maintained their Premier League focus despite starting with a terrible debut. The Villans lost 5-1 against Newcastle at St. James’ Park. However, they came back on track with a 4-0 win against Everton at Villa Park. 

Still, Unai Emery struggled with a 3-0 defeat at Anfield and recovered later with a dramatic 3-1 win over Crystal Palace. Currently, Villa records nine points, ranking 7th in the Premier League standings. Villa only has three injury issues: Bertrand Traore, Tyrone Mings, and Jacob Ramsey.
