Raheem Sterling, Thiago Silva and Kalidou Koulibaly have all dropped team news hints ahead of Chelsea's clash with Aston Villa this afternoon. The duo have posted pre-match graphic previews of the clash to their respective Instagram stories.
Graham Potter will be hoping that Sterling can continue his rich vein of form, having directly contributed towards four goals in seven Premier League appearances. And, after winning 2-0 over AC Milan in the Champions League midweek, Silva could play a huge role as the Blues look to return to steady the ship amid a wave of injuries in the sqaud.
The west Londoners currently, who have two games in hand over third-placed Tottenham, sit fourth in the table on 16 points. Chelsea already find themselves a some way behind Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs in the race for top-four, with the clash against Steven Gerrard's side set to be a feisty affair.
