Chelsea vs Aston Villa Team news :
Chelsea will undoubtedly be without Cesar Azpilicueta, Raheem Sterling, Wesley Fofana, Armando Broja, and Thiago Silva this week, and there are still questions about a lot of other regular-season games for the first team.
All of Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Edouard Mendy will need to be evaluated, as the former will only be fit enough for the bench if he can recover from a public problem.
Kai Havertz (illness) and Reece James (thigh) were both forced to withdraw from international duty midway through the break. However, it was believed that James’ England withdrawal was more of a precaution than anything else, and Havertz will likely recover from a bout of the flu in time to lead the line.
Meanwhile, Poland right back Matty Cash faces up to three weeks out with a calf injury sustained against the Czech Republic. The situation is largely the same as it was in the Villa hospital. Cash is welcomed into the treatment room by Jed Steer and Philippe Coutinho, but Boubacar Kamara, Leander Dendoncker, and Ashley Young should be brought back immediately to the right flank.
Ollie Watkins wants to become the first player in Villa’s history to score in five consecutive Premier League away games, but he has met Chelsea five times without scoring. As a result, Emery has no reason to alter a winning formula.
