Mauricio Pochettino has held his nerve with his Chelsea side despite their poor start, making only one change to the team that drew at Bournemouth last weekend.
Moises Caicedo returns from injury to slot into midfield in place of Lesley Ugochukwu, who is on the bench.
Among his peers is Armando Broja, back in the squad for the first time since December and likely to be hungry for a return to first-team action, with his side in dire need of some firepower up front.
Aston Villa have reverted back to the same Premier League XI that beat Crystal Palace 3-1 last weekend.
That means it is another five changes from the midweek defeat in the Europa Conference League with Calum Chambers, Clement, Lenglet, Youri Tielemans, Leon Bailey and John Duran dropping back to the bench.
Matty Cash, Pau Torres, Douglas Luiz, Moussa Diaby and Ollie Watkins come back into the XI.
