Graham Potter revealed that several players will miss Chelsea's clash against Aston Villa as the Blues plot an ambitious push for top-four following the international break. The west London outfit will welcome the Villans to Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon and a defeat for the home side will see them fall into the bottom half of the table.
They each head into the tie on 38 points, with only five goals separating one another. The last time Chelsea and Villa met was in a friendly back in December when John McGinn scored the only goal inside ten minutes.
But, in October, Chelsea waltzed away from Villa Park 2-0 victors following two goals from Mason Mount. The midfielder now looks set to make his return to the squad after various minor injuries, which saw him pulled from the England squad.
