Aston Villa welcome Chelsea to Villa Park looking to maintain their good run of form as they continue to push for a top-four spot for the second consecutive season.
A new-look Villa side welcomed a host of key additions over the winter window, with Marcus Rashford, Marco Asensio, Axel Disasi and Donyell Malen all joining the team to help them fight both domestically and in Europe.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are suffering from a poor run of form of late, winning just two of their last nine league games in all competitions as they have begun to slide down the table.
Enzo Marseca's side took another blow last week after a spineless 3-0 defeat away to Brighton left the Blues just four points above Aston Villa having been battling for top spot just a few months ago.
