Team News
Aston Villa
Chelsea
- Ludwig Augustinsson, Boubacar Kamara, Lucas Digne and Diego Carlos all remain out.
- Leon Bailey is poised to return after having a small muscle issue ahead of the draw with Nottingham Forest and with Steven Gerrard talking about making changes from that game.
- Wesley Fofana and N'Golo Kante both remain sidelined.
- Hakim Ziyech didn't travel with Chelsea for the win over AC Milan owing to illness, but may be alright to make the squad for this one.
- Reece James was forced off in that win in midweek and will endure a spell on the sidelines now, with the right-back set to miss the World Cup.
I hope Mount gets his hat trick now that he has 2 goals.He is a very under rated player.
Chelsea have improved under Potter.
Chelsea to score over 1.5 goals @1.90
Surely Watkins starts?
Most difficult for Potter since take over Chelsea. Team make less mistake will win this one. Rest Kovacic is Chelsea want to win.
