It’s back to Premier League action for Chelsea this weekend, and it’s another big test for our top-four ambitions as Aston Villa come to town for Sunday midday showdown. Liverpool may be running away with the title, but the rest of the top-four, or even the top-six, is shaping up to be a knock-down-drag-out fight, and it’s only just getting started.
We rested a whole host of players for Thursday’s trip to Heidenheim, which should be a nice boost for this game, as well as the two other Premier League games coming up in the next eight days. We’re not even really to the festive period yet, and things are already starting to feel congested.
Thankfully, the only injury of note is to Reece James, who’s not expected to be back before the new year. Malo Gusto and Pedro Neto were two of the many who got extra rest midweek; last we heard we were expecting them to be fit and available for this game.
Choose wisely.
