Team news
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is likely to make a number of changes to his side
for the Premier League visit of Aston Villa on Monday.
He was unhappy with the performance of his team in their 3-1 Boxing Day
defeat to Arsenal and could respond by shuffling his pack.
Hakim Ziyech (hamstring) will still be missing and it remains to be seen if
full-backs Ben Chilwell and Reece James feature having both passed late
tests to start against the Gunners as the likes of Callum Hudson-Odoi and
Kai Havertz push for recalls.
Aston Villa will be without Ross Barkley and Tyrone Mings.
Barkley has been out with a hamstring injury for a month but cannot play
against his parent club anyway while Mings is suspended following his red
card against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Ezri Konsa will replace Mings having recovered from illness but Trezeguet
(hamstring) and Wesley (knee) both remain out.
