Aston Villa vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates

Chelsea return to Premier League action today with a trip to Aston Villa – and you can follow every second of the match with our live blog.

The Blues are looking to get back to winning ways following back-to-back defeats, after they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Brighton and lost to them again in their last top-flight match to put pressure on Enzo Maresca.

Chelsea are without Noni Madueke for today’s showdown at Villa Park after the winger picked up a hamstring problem, with the winger replaced by right-back Reece James in what appears to be a formation change.

Villa took a point off Premier League leaders Liverpool in their last Premier League fixture, which ended in a 2-2 draw on Wednesday night.

The home side have made four changes to their XI for today’s clash with Ezri Konsa, Jacob Ramsey, Ian Maatsen and Matty Cash all starting while Marcus Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, is named on the bench.
