Chelsea's form has been pretty rotten recently and their manager, Enzo Maresca, also needs a strong finish to the season. It doesn't help that Cole Palmer has lost his mojo, on top of their issues at centre-forward and in goal.

There is reason for Chelsea to be optimistic of success at Villa Park, though, as they have won 13 Premier League away matches against Aston Villa, only winning more at Tottenham (16) and Southampton (15) in the division's history. The Blues can also take inspiration from their three-goal victory over Villa earlier this season.

Morgan Rogers is again operating on the right flank while Marcus Rashford trying to impact the game from the other side of the pitch. Marco Asensio is playing in the centre as the attacking midfielder. Without any surprise, Ollie Watkins leads the attacking line yet again and will be desperate to find the back of the net.
