Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Aston Villa

Chelsea will be looking to secure a spot in the top four when they finish their 2020-21 Premier League campaign away to Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.

The Blues, who are currently third in the table, recorded a huge 2-1 victory over Leicester City in the league on Tuesday evening to gain revenge for the FA Cup final loss to the Foxes.

Thomas Tuchel's side will be aiming to cement their spot in the Champions League positions before taking on Manchester City in the European Cup final on May 29.

Andreas Christensen was not involved in the FA Cup final or Tuesday's clash with Leicester due to a hamstring problem, but the issue is not serious, meaning that he could be in contention to return this weekend.

N'Golo Kante had to be replaced in the 32nd minute of the clash with Leicester, having "felt something", according to Tuchel. The issue is not serious, but the France international is unlikely to play on Sunday with a view to potentially being fit for the Champions League final.

Chelsea have no players banned for their next Premier League match.
