Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz says that all his side need is 'one good plan' to beat Chelsea this weekend. The Blues travel to Villa Park on Sunday to face a team who are desperately out-of-form, with the pressure mounting on Steven Gerrard.
Villa have won just two of their nine Premier League games so far this season, with Gerrard favourite to be the next manager in the division to be sacked. The Midlands club drew 1-1 at Nottingham Forest on Monday night, with Roy Keane providing a brutal verdict on Villa's performance, offering hope to Chelsea ahead of the weekend.
"They have no bottle and it comes down to individual players," Keane told Monday Night Football.

A player who could have swapped Birmingham for London during the summer is Douglas Luiz. The Brazilian was the subject of a series of late deadline day bids from Arsenal, as the Gunners desperately looked to add a midfielder to their ranks.
However, Luiz stayed at Villa and has played in all but one of their fixtures so far this season. Despite the team's poor form, Luiz believes Villa can inflict the first defeat of the Graham Potter era upon Chelsea.
"I think it's a difficult game," Luiz told Aston Villa's club website.
"We're training so hard and we need the one good plan. We have in the room so many good players and I believe so much in Aston Villa, because I'm here.
"I'm so happy and I think we can win this game."
