The Blues will resume league duties post-international break at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea secured three wins in a row before dropping points at home against Everton in their last outing. They are 11 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham and have a lot of ground to cover to catch up in the race for the top four.

Aston Villa are unbeaten in their last four league games and are equal on points with their next opponent Chelsea. A convincing 3-0 win over Bournemouth in their previous fixture and Chelsea's overall lacklustre season should give Villa hope of taking points off Graham Potter's team.
