Aston Villa will host Chelsea at Villa Park this Wednesday night, aiming for a crucial three points in the Premier League. The Villans are looking to recover after a 2-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers in their recent match and will be keen to secure a win at home.
Unai Emery plans to use a 4-2-3-1 formation and is likely to make one change to his starting lineup for this match. Ian Maatsen is set to start, replacing Lucas Digne, who will move to the bench.
