Mount rest, Cucurella solution - Five Chelsea changes Graham Potter must consider vs Aston Villa

Chelsea return to Premier League action following another standout performance against AC Milan as Graham Potter extended his unbeaten run as Chelsea boss to five matches. The Blues will look to extend that to six matches against Aston Villa on Sunday and secure their place in the Premier League's top four.

Potter has been no stranger to making changes to his team and following the last game against Milan, made seven for the visit of Wolverhampton Wandered. The former Brighton boss will have to make at least one adjustment to his team that started at the San Siro, with Reece James set to see a specialist for the knee injury he picked up in Italy. With the volume of games October and November presented, more changes are sure to be on the way.

"Well, I think we have quite a few games in a short space of time," Potter said in his press conference. "So we’ve had to use the group as wisely as possible which we’ve done. I’ve been really impressed with the guys, their attitudes have been fantastic. There are still a few lads that haven’t had game time but that isn’t because they’ve done anything wrong, they can field eleven.
