Chelsea know they are one victory away from sealing a top-four finish in the Premier League and standing in their way are Aston Villa.
Thomas Tuchel’s side beat Leicester in what was effectively a play-off for a Champions League place heading into the final weekend, also gaining a measure of revenge for their FA Cup final defeat in the process.
Now they need to finish the job - but Dean Smith and assistant John Terry, formerly a Chelsea captain, will be aiming to see Villa end their own campaign on a positive note.
