No new injury worries for Chelsea

Defenders David Luiz and Tomas Kalas are Chelsea’s only absentees for their Premier League clash with Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

Brazil centre-back Luiz has a hamstring problem, but could return for Monday’s trip to Manchester United, while Kalas suffered a fractured leg in pre-season.

Manager Jose Mourinho may opt to make a number of changes from the side which began last Sunday’s 2-0 defeat of Hull, with the Old Trafford clash in mind.

Provisional squad: Cech, Schwarzer, Hilario, Ivanovic, Cole, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Bertrand, Mikel, Essien, Oscar, Ramires, Lampard, Van Ginkel, Hazard, Mata, Moses, Schurrle, De Bruyne, Torres, Lukaku, Ba.
