James injury, Kante latest - Questions Graham Potter must answer before Aston Villa vs Chelsea

We're on the verge of another weekend of football and following a second impressive win over AC Milan, Graham Potter and Chelsea have certainly built their confidence heading into the game against Aston Villa. Despite opening up his tenure with a draw against Red Bull Salzburg, Potter has guided the Blues to four wins in a row following the international break.

Safe to say, the atmosphere has changed around Stamford Bridge but with no let-up in the fixture list, the pressure to keep on producing remains on. The Blues have five fixtures before the end of the month and nine before the Premier League breaks up for the World Cup.

Chelsea will hope to take advantage against an under pressure Villa team on Sunday, with Steven Gerrard's position coming into question despite Villa being unbeaten in their last four matches. Another win would not see Chelsea rise further up the table however, as they currently sit four points behind Spurs in fourth, albeit with a game in hand of the Lilywhites.
