Aston Villa Vs Chelsea - Latest Team News - Match Preview

Next up is Aston Villa vs Chelsea as Chelsea travel to Villa Park to face Aston Villa for their next Premier League game of 2010-11 season.

Didier Drogba will not be fit for tomorrow's game due to fever, but John Terry is available.

Its back to Premier League action after a round of Euro Qualifiers and Chelsea will look to continue with their form as they visit Villa Park on Saturday. An away game at Villa park has never been easy for Chelsea with only one victory from the 11 years since Tore Andre Flo and Bjarne Goldbaek earned a 3-0 victory in March 1999. The only win was in February 2009, Guus Hiddink's first match as manager, when Nicolas Anelka scored the solitary goal.

Chelsea have won six of their seven games to lead the Premier League by four points, the biggest gap at the top in the Premier League since 2005 when Chelsea won all seven and led second-placed Charlton by six points.Chelsea have scored 23 goals and given only two, both these away, one at West ham and the other at Manchester City. Villa on the other hand haven't lost a game at home this season. And with ex Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier they seem to be getting strong by every match. On the other hand Villa have just won one in their last four in the league with a victory over Wolves.

Chelsea will welcome back skipper John Terry who missed out on the International's with a back problem. Frank Lampard might make the bench after a seven match absence. But Alex, Benayoun and Kalou will miss out due to injuries.
