Aston Villa Predicted Lineup vs Chelsea for Premier League Fixture
How Aston Villa Have Lined up Recently
Unai Emery restored his two first-choice full-backs Lucas Digne and Matty Cash to the team against Juventus.
This came after Lamare Bogarde and Ian Maatsen were given rare starts last weekend during the chaotic draw with Crystal Palace.

Elsewhere, fit again Boubacar Kamara returned at the base of midfield in mid-week. He displaced Ross Barkley, while Amadou Onana sat out the Champions League fixture. Thus, Emery’s lineup in West London will have a familiar feel about it.
Aston Villa’s Recent Form and Tactics
Can Aston Villa get back to winning ways?
On Wednesday night, the Villans were denied a famous Champions League victory over Juventus, the tie ending goalless.
Morgan Rogers thought he had won it in the 94th minute, only for the referee to disallow the goal due to an incredibly soft foul by Diego Carlos on the goalkeeper.

This draw has seen Villa fall down to ninth in the Champions League table while, in the Premier League, they’ve won only one of their last seven.
Last weekend’s 2-2 stalemate with Crystal Palace, requiring a late Barkley header to pinch a point, leaves the Claret and Blue Army without a win in four league fixtures.
Thus, they certainly travel to Stamford Bridge as underdogs.
Aston Villa Injuries to Consider
Jacob Ramsey remains sidelined due to the injury sustained at Anfield a month ago. In better news, Onana is being assessed amd could return to midfield. Lastly, having been an unused substitute on Wednesday, Ezri Konsa is also in contention to start.
