Romelu Lukaku out to end Stamford Bridge duck for Chelsea

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku will be aiming to end his barren Stamford Bridge streak when the Blues face off against Aston Villa on Saturday night.

The Belgium international's £97.5m move back to West London largely dominated talk of the recent transfer window, with the striker returning to England after a two-year stint with Inter Milan.

Lukaku notched up his first-ever Chelsea goal during his second debut for the club against Arsenal, but the 28-year-old enjoyed little success at Stamford Bridge before leaving for Italy.

Should Lukaku manage to find the back of the net on Saturday, it will mark his first-ever goal at Stamford Bridge at the 15th attempt in all competitions, which includes his spells with Everton and Manchester United.

Lukaku originally left Chelsea in 2014 without a single goal from 15 games - including eight games at Stamford Bridge - while he also failed to score in six subsequent matches at the ground for Everton and Manchester United.

The Blues could also hit a Premier League win milestone with three points against Villa, as Thomas Tuchel's men are currently sitting on 599 Premier League victories.
