Chelsea vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Bobby Boy]

This is about as tough as it gets at present. We've done OK there though over the last couple of years so hopefully we can rattle their entitled cage a bit.

Think we'll lose 2-0 but I hope that Watkins & Ings both start because that will be interesting to watch.

Without meaning to go all TSM, I’ll take a nice 2-0 defeat.

I fear it might be much worse.

McLeish won there didn’t he, around new years time.

He was lucky to be at the club at the same time as the mighty Stephen Ireland.

Are they the only two remaining fit players?! (Only half joking!)

Chelsea could have a lot of players out. Id rather werner up front than lukaku. Would be happy with a fraw but chelsea are strong.  Think this will be a loss

[Nev]

I made a gloomy prediction based on what was a gloomy situation personel wise, hopefully this will be brighter given the hints at players returning so perhaps I was somewhat harsh. It remains a tall order but if Konsa, Baily and Watkins are fit we should give a much better account of ourselves.

[PhilVill]

As hard as it gets so hopefully a decent performance and a better idea of what style of play we are looking to try if Bailey, Watkins and Ings are on the pitch together. 2-0 loss.

Bailey watkins fit to play. Mcginn and ramsey back

Chuk JPB out

Traore back in training

Buendia and martinez training for next week

[Risso]

"Smith: “We should be welcoming Ollie Watkins back. We’ve also got Leon Bailey back to full fitness now.

“Bertrand Traore has trained the last couple of days as well. John McGinn and Jacob Ramsey have recovered from their Covid-19 situations too.”

"Should be" welcoming Ollie Watkins back. That's Smith speak for "won't be".
