Team News

Aston Villa
Chelsea
  • Aston Villa are still without Emi Buendia and Tyrone Mings.
  • Douglas Luiz came off at half time against Sheffield United, and is a slight doubt for this one.
  • Morgan Rogers could make his full debut for Aston Villa in this one, but Emery might keep the key performers from Saturday's big win at Bramall Lane.
  • Chelsea will remain without captain Reece James, who looks set to remain sidelined until the end of March.
  • Chelsea are still missing eight players, including James, for this one.
  • Nicolas Jackson made his return from the African Cup of Nations in the defeat against Wolves and should start after Armando Broja left for Fulham on loan.

Prediction

  • Aston Villa and Chelsea lock horns again with both teams coming off of contrasting results from this weekend.
  • Villa put Sheffield United to the sword by putting five goals past them in a dominating performance.
  • On the other hand, Chelsea are coming into this off the back of four goals conceded against Liverpool and Wolves. Mauricio Pochettino is under real pressure, and a bad cup exit here could ramp that pressure up a notch.
