Chelsea’s Predicted starting Line-up against Aston Villa

Chelsea welcomes Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge as both sides clash in the Premier League after returning from the international break.

Chelsea would be aiming to pick the maximum three points to move up the Premier League log as they set to square up against fellow London side Aston Villa.

And it promises to be interesting how it happens here at the West London arena. While Isagoal.com takes a look at how Chelsea could line up against their counterpart Aston Villa.

As usual, first-choice goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga should start in between the sticks for Chelsea while right-back Reece James was handed an injury scare during the international break.

It is uncertain if he (James) would pass a fitness test ahead of the game. But Chelsea could look to Ruben Loftus-Cheek as a potential option in the wing-back position.

In central areas, the now-fit N’Golo Kante should have a place on the bench with Chelsea trading with caution as regards the French international midfielder.

In the final third, January signing Joao Felix would be joined by Kai Havertz and former Manchester City star Raheem Sterling with Germany Kai Havertz leading the hunt for goals in the centre-forward position.
