Chelsea will take on Aston Villa in their ninth Premier League match of the season on Sunday. Graham Potter's Blues have won their last four games and will be confident about extending that winning run this weekend.
Chelsea beat AC Milan 2-0 in their previous outing and moved top of their Champions League group. Their last Premier League game was a 3-0 win over Wolves. They will now travel to Villa Park, where Aston Villa have struggled to get going this season. They have one win in their last five matches and head into the fixture against the Blues on the back of back-to-back draws.
