Chelsea vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Thiago Silva angles a ball over the top for Mudryk down the left flank. He steers a cutback towards Jackson, but Konsa on the slide directs it away from danger.

Chelsea are probing with menace down the right flank in the early stages through Sterling and Gusto, who are finding space in the wide areas.

Disasi tries to connect with Fernandez's corner from the right flank, but it skims his head. It strikes Kamara on the arm, but the Chelsea appeals for a penalty are muted.

Sterling plays the give and go with Jackson down the right flank, but Torres gets across to force a corner.

SAVE! Douglas Luiz loses out to Fernandez and it allows Jackson to feed Caicedo. The midfielder has space to fire at goal, but sends a tame effort straight at Martinez.

Mudryk almost pounces on a mistake from the visitors at the back, but Konsa gets across quickly to prevent him bearing down on goal.

Mudryk releases the run of Fernandez over the top, but his cross back into the middle evades Jackson and the flag goes up late for offside anyway.

We're under way at Stamford Bridge.

The players are out on the pitch so we should be under way shortly.

Villa have made five changes to their side that was beaten by Legia Warsaw during the week. Watkins is back to lead the line in place of Duran. Diaby returns in place of Bailey in the final third, while Douglas Luiz joins Kamara in the midfield. Torres and Cash are also restored to the back four.
