Chelsea face Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge in just under an hour, and the teams are in! We’v ebeen looking forward to this selection.
Mauricio Pochettino has picked a very similar team to the one that faced Bournemouth last week. It’s the same front 3 and no changes at the back. Moises Caicedo comes into the midfield to replace Lesley Ugochukwu. There were some doubts about the Ecuadorian’s fitness, but he’s right in the mix today and can hopefully put in the game we need in midfield to get 3 massive points.
It means Ben Chilwell is back on the bench, with two other left backs and two goalkeepers. At least there’s some better news in terms of the attack: Armando Broja is also back on the bench for the first time since his injury – coincidentally suffered against Villa – last November.
Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Aston Villa (kick off at 14:00 GMT)
