Where to watch Premier League clash between Chelsea and Aston Villa - team news, kick-off time and more.

A convincing 3-0 win over Bournemouth in their previous fixture and Chelsea's overall lacklustre season should give Villa hope of taking points off Graham Potter's team. They are 11 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham and have a lot of ground to cover to catch up in the race for the top four. Chelsea secured three wins in a row before dropping points at home against Everton in their last outing.

Chelsea's mini-revival looks to be over after a 2-0 loss to Aston Villa put the focus back on manager Graham Potter.

But this was the latest setback for Potter, who has struggled to get the Londoners’ season on track since he was hired in September. He had already hit the bar in the first half and doubled Villa’s lead with a powerful effort from outside the box. Joao Felix forced a good save from Emiliano Martinez and Mykhailo Mudryk failed to beat the Villa goalkeeper with another effort.

In any case, Graham Potter did not take the chance of venturing onto the pitch at full time. Villa dealt them a 10th league defeat of the season; the most they have lost in a single campaign this century is 12. The mask had slipped a few minutes earlier though.
