Chelsea welcome Aston Villa to Stamford Bridge this evening in a match that could prove pivotal to the Premier League title race.
Enzo Maresca’s side positioned themselves as title contenders following their 1-1 draw with Arsenal a month ago, but they’ve won just one of their four games since and begin the day 10 points behind the league leaders.
Thankfully for the Blues, Liam Delap and Estevao should be back in the squad after recovering from injury, while Cole Palmer is said to be fit enough to play the full 90 minutes.
And he most likely will be required to do that, as Villa have won 16 of their last 18 games across all competitions and sit third in the table, just three points off the Gunners.
