Silva and Chalobah back at centre-back? Team news for Aston Villa vs Chelsea, probable XIs

On Saturday, Chelsea are taking on another team in the top four of the Premier League after a 5-0 defeat to Arsenal. This time, the Blues will be hosted by Aston Villa.

Unai Emery's team actually defeated Arsenal 2-0 a couple of weeks ago, so this game could be just as tough for Chelsea.
