For this 8th day of the Premier League, Chelsea will host Aston Villa ahead of them in the standings. The Blues are in 15th place while the Villans are not far from the current top 5 in 7th. The match will be played at Stamford Bridge, kick-off scheduled for 3:00 p.m. Here are the probable lineups for the two teams.
Chelsea, who is not participating in any European competition this season, has the ambition to shine in the Premier League and perhaps even compete with Manchester City. However, the Londoners’ performances have fallen far short of expectations, with just one win, two draws and two defeats in their opening five Premier League games. Home, Chelsea must recover and accumulate points to avoid falling behind in the rankings. On the other hand, the team ofAston Villa alternates between moments of success and less good results, as evidenced by their defeat on Thursday at home in the Conference League against Legion.
On the Blues side, the list of injured is growing considerably: Nkunku, James, Fofana, Broja, Lavia, Badiashile and Bettinelli will be absent for this meeting. However, there is good news to note, with the return of Benoit Badiashile in collective training. Some uncertainties remain on the side of Chelseaparticularly regarding Chalobah, Chukwuemeka, Maduekeand the flagship recruit of this summer, who should still be part of the group.
Unai Emrey will have to do without his two central defenders; Tyrone Mings and Diego Carlos. The long-term injured: Buendia, Hause, Iroegbuna swill be absent for this meeting. Bertrand Traoré is uncertain and could play his first match of the season.
Chelsea’s likely composition: Sanchez – Gusto, Disasi, Silva, Colwill – Gallagher, Fernandez, Ugochukwu – Sterling, Jackson, Mudryk
The probable Aston Villa team: Martinez – Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne – Kamara, Luiz, Diaby, McGinn, Zaniolo – Watkins
