Aston Villa vs Chelsea: Where To Watch, Live Streaming, Date, Timing, Squad, Lineups, Venue:
A rejuvenated Chelsea under Graham Potter are looking for their fifth consecutive win in all competitions as they travel to Villa Park. Aton Villa are in deep troubles this season despite a spending spree in the summer as Steven Gerrard is already facing calls for sack after the club is sitting 16th in the table, just three points above the drop zone. Villa have managed only two wins from nine games so far, further letting in a 17 goals, third highest in the league.
Gerrard was handed with a massive six signings this summer which included the likes of Philippe Coutinho and the young talent Boubacar Kamara. After ending the last season on a positive note, big things were expected from the Clarets and Blues this season. However, it is rather turning out to be a nightmare one given the club is facing the risk of fighting relegation as the season progresses. Nothing less than a point here would be accepted by the Villans fans against the Blues.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are taking-off brilliantly under new boss Graham Potter who is steering them to back to back wins since that draw on his debut against RB Salzburg in the Champions League. A thumping win against AC Milan in Italy in their last game will have certainly injected them boosting confidence ahead of their trip to Villa.
However, Potter will have to tackle some key injuries in his squad as Reece James, who was flourishing under his new gaffer came off injured in the last game. Wesley Fofana is out too, with N’Golo Kante and Haim Ziyech unavailable as well. Nonetheless, the Chelsea team has the might to cover up for the absences as almost every player has stepped up since the appointment of Potter.
