Chelsea v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Legion]

Available Saturday afternoon.

[VillaAlways]

Guzan, Cuellar, Collins, Dunne, Warnock, N’Zogbia, Petrov, Clark, Albrighton, Ireland, Agbonlahor. Subs: Marshall, Bannan, Hutton, Weimann, Gardner, Delfouneso, Bent.

Surprised Hutton on bench I'm guessing Bent isn't 100 %

Bent on the bench. hmmm.

[eamonn]

Interesting. Probably the team most of us would have liked. Let's hope Ireland doesn't go missing and the two wingers don't play with shrivelled willies.

[PaulWinch again]

Come on you Villa boys, hopefully Bent on bench is just fitness issue. Good to see Ireland in the team, hopefully that'll aid creativity.

Bent on the bench. hmmm.

I'm hoping it's a precaution as he was touch and go anyway

[supertom]

Looks about right really. We have to play one up against Chelsea and we need that front man to be more pro-active than Bent would be. Largely, that's probably our form side put out (Collins had a good game against Stoke, despite his gash season so far), so hopefully we can put in a decent performance, and perhaps sneak a result.

Still rather see Cuellar at Cb and Hutton at Rb.

[JJ-AV]

Good team.

[Legion]

Chelsea: Cech; Ferreira, Luiz, Terry, Cole; Meireles, Ramires, Romeu; Mata, Drogba, Sturridge. Subs: Turnbull, Hutchinson, Lampard, Bosingwa, Malouda, Kalou, Torres.

Hoping so too!

[Toronto Villa]

That's the right team. Bent coming back from injury and no need to give Hutton his place back given how wellthat back four did last weekend. I hope Ireland's inclusion draws a line under his festive events and he turns in a top performance.

[TaxDodger]

Happy with this. Come on Villa we can get something here.

[PaulTheVillan]

Bent was 50/50 yesterday, so that explains why he's on the bench. Good to have options.

[Shrek]

I think Bent is off, I'm buzzing Ireland is getting another chance. All he needs to do is replicate his first half performance against Arsenal.

Come on Villa!
