Possible Chelsea Line up To Play Against Aston Villa – Cuadrado And Oscar On The Bench, Willian To Start

Share

Aston Villa are a side who are yet to score a goal in the year 2015 and are probably the easiest side a team could face. While Chelsea are the best team in the Premier League, who are five points clear at the top of the table and looking unstoppable, but the last time when Blues visited Villa Park the game turned out to be a shocker and the reason behind Chelsea’s slip in the title race. But this Chelsea side is better than ever and Mourinho’s men will travel to Villa Park with the motto of revenge and also to put more pressure on their title rivals Manchester City.

The whole Chelsea squad is fit and fine but goal machine Diego Costa is suspended while the new man Juan Cuadrado is expected to make his debut. Here’s the possible Chelsea team to face Aston Villa in a Premier League clash.

Formation – 4-3-3

Goalkeeper

Thibaut Courtois

The Belgian has been impressive since past two months and also has been Chelsea’s 1st choice keeper since the start of the season.

Defence

Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry & Azpilicueta

Since Aston Villa are a defensive side and Ivanovic will play a key role here mainly because of his pressing skills and crossing, whereas Azpilicueta has to be selected because of his brilliant performance in previous games same reason for Terry as well. Whereas Cahill will likely start this game ahead of Zouma after he was benched in Chelsea’s previous fixture versus Man City.

Midfield

Matic, Cesc & Ramires

Matic has started almost every possible Premier League game for Chelsea and he is also a key element in Chelsea squad. Fabregas could not play in the previous match because of a minor hamstring injury and Ramires because of his impressive performances in previous Premier League and FA Cup games. Oscar will be preserved for the upcoming fixture versus Everton which will be held at Stamford Bridge and Oscar’s performance in recent away fixtures were not really impressive.

Attack

Willian, Remy & Hazard

Even though Aston Villa are going through a rough time it will be a bit of a gamble for Mourinho to start with Cuadrado hence to be on the safer side Willian will commence. Remy impressed everyone by his performance against Man City and hence the chances of him to start the game are very high. Hazard will definitely start the game because of his fantastic performance throughout the season and one does not simply bench Hazard.
