Chelsea vs Aston Villa Confirmed Lineups for March 4

Chelsea Team News

Per SofaScore, Liam Rosenior has a selection dilemma on his hands. It lists eight potential absentees for him to handle. Mykahilo Mudryk is suspended long-term with Pedro Neto also suspended after getting a red card against Arsenal, the Portuguese international will miss just this clash and be back for the next league outing.

The back line is hit with injuries to Levi Colwill and Marc Cucurella and the recently recalled Caleb Wiley. The midfield is also hit as Dario Essugo once again finds himself on the sidelines with Jamie Gittens and Estevao’s injuries leaving the manager short of options to fill the five spots in his 4-2-3-1.

Romeo Lavia made a substitute appearance at the weekend, marking his return to senior football, providing at least one option off the bench in midfield. Cole Palmer and Reece James are also fit per SofaScore, with neither deemed doubtful for this one.

Unai Emery is the only coach who could claim to be dealing with a worse injury situation than Rosenior. While the Villans have less problems overall, they have been decimated in one key part of the pitch. Youri Tielemans, John McGinn, and  Boubacar Kamara are all out, dealing a big blow to their midfield solidity and energy, leaving them short of options for the pivot and the central attacking midfielder.

Andres Garcia and Harvey Elliot are also out for this one.
