Chelsea prepare for Villa test

Last Updated : 04-Mar-2026 by Footymad

Liam Rosenior is set to lead Chelsea into a vital midweek encounter against Aston Villa as the race for European football intensifies.

The Blues have struggled for consistency lately and have not recorded a league win in their last three outings.

Rosenior is expected to stick with his preferred four two three one formation with Andrey Santos and Moises Caicedo shielding the back four.

Villa have also seen their form stutter recently making this a high stakes game for both clubs at Stamford Bridge.
