Game Preview
Villa Park is ready to host the home team and Chelsea next Sunday, where the Villains will be looking to move up in the table, as they’re currently 16th after only obtaining 9 points in their first 9 games. Villa have won two, drawn three and lost a total of 4 games, which is definitely a bad start for Steven Gerrard’s team. Gerrard is closing in on his first year as Villa’s head coach with 12 wins, 8 draws and 16 losses in 36 matches.
Villa’s squad is far from complete, as they have 6 key players out due to injuries. Diego Carlos suffered a tendon injury, and his return is still to be communicated. French defender Lucas Digne is still recovering from an ankle injury and is expected to come back until mid-November. Boubacar Kamara’s return is expected to be after the 2022 World Cup after suffering a knee injury early in the season. As if this weren’t enough, Jamaican midfielder Leon Bailey suffered a muscle injury and is not expected to return anytime soon. They’ll have to rely on other important players such as Douglas Luiz, Philippe Coutinho and English forward Danny Ings.
In Chelsea’s court, there’s optimism toward Hakim Ziyech’s return since he wasn’t part of the squad that traveled to Italy to face AC Milan in midweek’s UEFA Champions League match. Wesley Fofana and N’Golo Kante still remain sidelined, and they’ll have to add Reece James to the list, as he was forced off against AC Milan and will have to be assessed to outline the extent of his injury. Chelsea currently has a 3-game winning streak in the Premier League and will look to extend it next Sunday.
Even though they have 4 key players out due to injuries, the Blues can still rely on key players such as Kai Havertz, Mason Mount, Jorginho and Christian Pulisic, who will look to keep their form up against Villa.
