Hello and welcome to football.london for live coverage of Chelsea's Premier League clash with Aston Villa this evening.
The Blues welcome a red-hot Villa side who have won 10 matches on the bounce going into today's fixture. Chelsea, meanwhile, are looking to build some momentum ahead of a packed fixture schedule across the course of the next month - knowing they can't really afford to lose any more ground on today's opponents.
Estevao Willian and Liam Delap are set to return for the west Londoners at Stamford Bridge after recovering from their respective injuries. Elsewhere, Villa are expected to be without Pau Torres, Tyrone Mings and Ross Barkley this evening due to injuries, while Evann Guessand is in Morocco representing Ivory Coast in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Today's game is scheduled to kick off at 5:30pm (UK time) and you can watch live coverage on Sky Sports Main Event from 5pm. But we'd prefer it if you stayed right here, with Bobby Vincent on hand to bring you detailed updates and analysis from SW6 throughout the day.
