Villa have lost all 6 out of their last 6 games and have managed to win just 3 games in this entire season. Chelsea, on the other hand, have slightly better stats this season as the blues have managed 10 wins and 11 draws this season.

Team News:

Eden Hazard and Kurt Zouma are still on the sidelines due to injury. Chelsea had a reason to be happy as Diego Costa returned after his suspension but their celebration was cut short by the FA as the striker was handed a ban of one more game. Terry will be available for the blues.
