Chelsea will be aiming to return to winning ways when they face Aston Villa on the road tonight.
The Blues are winless in the last three Premier League matches and will be desperate to beat Villa.
The west London giants can move back to fifth in the table with a victory over Unai Emery's side.
Ahead of the game, there could be two changes to the starting XI.
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Predicted Line-up:
Robert Sanchez has been an undisputed starter in goal for the Blues in the Premier League. He had an average outing against Arsenal last weekend, but he is expected to keep his place.
In defence, there could be a solitary change. Reece James and Jorrel Hato are poised to continue in the full-back positions. Wesley Fofana is back from suspension and he is likely to partner Trevoh Chalobah in central defence. Mamadou Sarr should make way from the XI.
Moises Caicedo and Andrey Santos should be nailed-on starters in the heart of the midfield. We also expect Enzo Fernandez to continue as the attacking midfielder against the Villans tonight.
Similarly, Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro should start on the right wing and centre-forward positions respectively, but there will be an enforced change on the left wing with Pedro Neto suspended.
Alejandro Garnacho had a lively outing from the left flank coming as a substitute last weekend and nearly scored a late equaliser. He should get the nod in the starting XI at Villa Park.
Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Aston Villa: Sanchez; James, Fofana, Chalobah, Hato; Santos, Caicedo; Palmer, Fernandez, Garnacho; Pedro.
