Chelsea will be looking to build on their midweek Carabao Cup win when they host Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The Blues have endured a difficult start to the season, winning just one of their opening five league matches. However, they will be confident of victory against a Villa side who have also struggled for form this season.
Villa have won just two of their opening six league matches and they were beaten 4-0 by Chelsea in the corresponding fixture last season.
Chelsea will be without the suspended Mateo Kovacic for the match, but they will be boosted by the return of N'Golo Kante from injury.
Villa will be without the injured Douglas Luiz and Diego Carlos, but they will be hoping that Leon Bailey can continue his good form after scoring in their midweek Carabao Cup win over Bolton Wanderers.
The match is expected to be a close encounter, but Chelsea will be the slight favourites to win. The Blues have a better squad on paper and they will be playing at home.
However, Villa have shown that they can be a dangerous team on their day and they will be hoping to cause an upset at Stamford Bridge.
