Chelsea v Aston Villa Match Thread

I thought he might have rested Cash today; or at least not started him.

Looking a bit tired lately alright. Decent break since last game though so should be fine.

[Flamingo Lane]

Seeing that Torres doesn't make the bench, I wonder if that makes it more likely or less likely that he could start v Arsenal?

Also on 4 yellows.

Best right back at the club by miles this season, a yellow away from a ban but can’t be leaving him out of a game as big as this.

The only right back at the club! May as well send García back to Spain and sign the lad wr wanted to all along.

I moan about Watkins more than *almost* anyone, but it's disconcerting to see him not in the 11.

I think Malens a good player, but more of a wide forward than someone leading the line, so yes agree.

Surprised he's left Onana out.

Saving him for Arsenal's set pieces.

Good shout.

Also, there is a fair chance Kamara will be suspended so we will need him to play the whole game on Tuesday.

[PaulWinch again]

Very tough this. Come on Villa.

[Chip Butty 111]

Kamara is better with Tielemans alongside him. Not surprised Watkins is on the bench,  Malen deserves a start. This is a proper test of our credentials...

So what is it exactly that you want?

He wants to be free. To do what he wants to do.

I wanna get loaded and have a good time. And that's what I'm gonna do.

Are we in it or are we in the mix for best of rest next 2 games

[JUAN PABLO]

Good line up.

They have a strong squad

I would think so spending billions
