Chelsea team confirmed vs Aston Villa: Tammy Abraham starts but Jorginho dropped

Chelsea take on Aston Villa tonight looking to get back to winning ways after back-to-back Premier League defeats.

The Blues were beaten 2-1 by Manchester City after the international break and then suffered a shock 1-0 loss to West Ham on Saturday afternoon.

Chelsea’s form at Stamford Bridge has not been where Frank Lampard would have wanted it to be, also, and they’ll want to put an end to that this evening.

There is also a return to the Bridge to club legend John Terry, who will be in the opposition dugout as the assistant manager to Dean Smith at Villa.

Lampard made five changes to his team that faced the Hammers at the weekend, and he has tinkered once again to his side in a hope to get three points.

Check out the full Chelsea team below:

Chelsea: Kepa, James, Christensen, Zouma, Azpilicueta , Mount, Kante, Kovacic; Pulisic, Willian, Abraham

Subs: Caballero, Tomori, Batshuayi, Jorginho, Hudson-Odoi, Giroud, Emerson
