Aston Villa’s lineup against Chelsea
Aston Villa make three changes for the team that suffered a shock defeat away at Wolves on Friday night.
Jadon Sancho, Lucas Digne and Pau Torres come out for Leon Bailey, Ian Maatsen and Tyrone Mings.
It’s not just Sancho but also Tammy Abraham who could come off the bench to face their former club at Villa Park.
Aston Villa XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen; Onana, Luiz; Bailey, Buendia, Rogers; Watkins
Subs: Bizot, Digne, Torres, Bogarde, Barkley, Sancho, Abraham, Alysson
Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior leaves out replace goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and replaces him with no2 option Filip Jorgensen.
It follows criticism of his performance against Arsenal on Sunday, with Wesley Fofana returning from suspension to replace Mamadou Sarr but Pedro Neto banned after earning the Blues’ ninth red card of the season.
Alejandro Garnacho replaces him on the wing and Malo Gusto comes in for Andrey Santos, with Marc Cucurella only fit enough for the bench after a month out.
Chelsea XI: Jorgensen, James, Fofana, Chalobah, Hato, Caicedo, James, Palmer, Fernandez, Garnacho; Joao Pedro.
Subs: Sanchez, Badiashile, Sarr, Tosin, Cucurella, Santos, Lavia, Delap, Guiu
