TEAM NEWS
After the mini disaster in Poland, Unai Emery reverts to his PL first XI for the bell-weather trip to Stamford Bridge.
Villa have lost two of their three away games in the PL this season, each time heavily, as Newcastle and Liverpool put their best performances of the campaign in against Unai Emery’s men. Will a struggling Chelsea up their game and inflict a similar result or will today be the day that Villa bring their home form on the road?

Listen, no-one will believe this in decades to come but Chelsea, 12th in the Premier League in 2022-23, boast a squad costing an utterly preposterous £1.137bn against a re-emerging Villa. Nothing really is left to be said of the so-called Financial Fair Play Rules that allow a club like Chelsea to circumvent them with such ease. Yet still Chelsea ‘fans’ bemoan their ‘misfortune’ and feign ignorance as to their entirely financial elevation into the elite of English football.
