Aston Villa vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction as Mason Mount brace seals win

60 mins: An hour played at Villa Park and Graham Potter makes another change for Chelsea. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is hooked and Conor Gallagher comes on. Raheem Sterling is now playing through the middle as the central striker.

58 mins: Ashley Young flicks a pass down the left side as Watkins runs through the channel and seemingly keeps it in play. He curls a pass into the box but Kepa Arrizabalaga dives across Danny Ings and smothers it before the offside flag goes up.

55 mins: Koulibaly makes another clearance for Chelsea and has looked solid since he’s come on.

Villa are still having a bit of joy though when driving at the Blues defence. Watkins darts in from the left side and hooks a shot well wide of the back post.

52 mins: Martinez belts a long ball up to Watkins who gets it down to Ings. He gives it to Bailey who uses Ramsey’s overlapping run to get the ball into the box.

Ramsey then crosses it into the middle but Koulibaly gets his head on the ball and flicks it put of the area.

48 mins: It’s a good start from Chelsea to the second half. They look more confident on the ball and are moving it quicker with more decisiveness.

Azpilicueta slides the ball down the right side and plays Sterling in behind. He lifts a cross into the box but Emi Martinez comes out and swiftly claims it.

Kick off: Graham Potter has made a double change at half-time with Cesar Azpilicueta and Kalidu Koulibaly brought on to replace Marc Cucurella and Kai Havertz.

He’s done that to make Chelsea’s back line more secure. The visitors get the match back underway at Villa Park.

Aged 23 years and 279 days, Mason Mount is the second-youngest player to score 25 Premier League goals for Chelsea, after Eden Hazard (23 years 271 days).

Still to come today Liverpool face Manchester City in the late kick. Team news for that one is around half an hour away before the match kicks off at 4.30pm following the conclusion of the game at Villa Park.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are unbeaten in 27 home league matches since a 1-0 defeat by Fulham in March last year with 20 wins and seven draws in that run.

They have also gone 13 Premier League home games without defeat versus the reigning champions, last losing such a fixture to Manchester United in December 2007.

Mason Mount’s volley is the difference between the teams so far. Will Chelsea add to their tally in the second half?

45+2 mins: Chelsea take a slender one goal lead into the break but it’s been Aston Villa who are pressing the issue. They’ve created three or four good chances on goal but have been denied by an on song Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Graham Potter needs his team to get a grip on this game in the second half. Despite the opening goal, Steven Gerrard will be pleased with what he’s seen so far.
