Chelsea vs Villa: predicted XI, Young Lion starts, Felix dropped in 3-4-3

Chelsea’s home advantage gives them the edge in what should be a close encounter against Unai Emery’s Aston Villa. The Villans come into this game unbeaten in the last four games which has brought them to the 11th position on the Premier League table matching CFC’s points tally.

The west Londoners too come into this game unbeaten in their last four fixtures after ending what was possibly one of the most disastrous runs in their history. The Chels’ faithful will now be hoping that team can start to build a solid run on the back of those results and move up the league. One thing for certain is that Chelsea will have to keep half an eye on Aston Villa’s no. 11 Ollie Watkins who has been enjoying his football netting six goals and two assists over the last eight fixtures.

Chelsea Predicted Lineup (3-4-3)

Kepa Arrizabalaga (No. 1) Goalkeeper, Spain

The FIFA Best Goalkeeper award winner of the 2021-22 season has begun his rehabilitation and resumed training with the squad. However the Spanish International Kepa Arrizabalaga’s fine form will keep Edouard Mendy on the sidelines even after recovery.
