Chelsea vs. Aston Villa: Confirmed Line up

The Premier League weekend smiles on Chelsea and Graham Potter as Wesley Fofana Stirs the ship back into the team’s first win in 5 games.

The season for Chelsea started out bleak ever since the club’s pre- season under Thomas Tuchel which led to the German’s sack when results failed to improve in a number of games.

Graham Potter, former Brighton manager was then brought in to steady Todd Boehly’s ship, however the reversal appeared to be the case as inconsistencies followed the team’s performance.

But Saturday weekend fixture against Leeds United proved a breather for the Blues who according to the manager’s comments before the game, were short of key players for the game.

Thiago Silva who has been one of the positives for Chelsea this season was out,along with Mason Mount and Reece James.

Heading into the game, Chelsea were looking like the side who were the underdogs than the favorites to get a result from the game.

But like all underdog stories, Chelsea’s victory came from an unexpected source in Wesley Fofana who in the 53rd minute scored what eventually became the winner.

With 3 points gained and slightly looking to move past its all too familiar number 10 position, Graham Potter will sure be the happiest man this weekend in front of journalists.

The Englishman was reported to have been handed a probation of 3 games, 3 points garnered against Leeds United at Stanford Bridge may buy some time ahead of the fixture against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

A big boost and a relief ahead of a very busy Champions League week coming up, and with Chelsea down by a goal deficit, they would need to prove 3 points against Borussia Dortmund to salvage what’s left of their season.
