Maresca confirms Chelsea duo are fit to face Aston Villa

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that two players are expected to return to the matchday squad for Saturday's Premier League clash against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have been unimpressive in the league over the past five games, picking up only six points. They need to make amends with a victory over the Villans in front of their fans.

Ahead of the game, Maresca has revealed that Liam Delap is fit again after a shoulder problem. He added that the striker and Estevao are available for the crucial clash this weekend.

He said: "He's [Delap] available for Saturday, and also Estevao, so I'm very happy for both."

The Blues are no longer in the title race. They have dropped 10 points behind leaders Arsenal after just one win in the last five matches.

However, they still have plenty to play for. The club are fourth in the table and must beat the Villans to stay in the Champions League spots.
