Timo Werner (£9.2m) has been benched in Thomas Tuchel’s first game in charge of Chelsea, with Oliver Giroud (£6.7m) starting up-front.

Kai Havertz (£8.2m) starts behind Giroud, with Callum Hudson-Odoi (£5.7m) and Hakim Ziyech (£8.1m) on the wings.

Jorginho (£4.7m) is also recalled to the side in central midfield, alongside Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m).

Ben Chilwell (£6.1m) lines-up at full-back with Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.6m) recalled opposite. Thiago Silva (£5.6m) and Antonio Rudiger (£4.5m) start at centre-back.

Edouard Mendy (£5.1m) continues to keep Kepa (£4.7m) out of the team.

Wolves’ boss Nuno Espirito Santo has reverted back to his tried and tested back three for tonight’s game, with midfielders Adama Traore (£6.0m) and Pedro Neto (£5.9m) lining up as a front two.

Playing in behind them is a returning Daniel Podence (£5.3m). Wolves’ midfield two consists of Ruben Neves (£5.2m) and Leander Dendoncker (£4.7m).

Nelson Semedo (£5.3m) and Rayan Ait-Nouri (£5.0m) start at wing-back, with Willy Boly (£5.4m), Conor Coady (£4.8m), and Max Kilman (£4.0m) at centre-half.

Rui Patricio (£5.4m) lines up in goal.

Burnley will be hoping to build on their win at Anfield with Chris Wood (£6.2m) and Jay Rodriguez (£5.8m) starting up front.

Robbie Brady (£5.0m) and Dwight McNeil (£5.7m) start on the wings for Burnley, with Ashley Westwood (£5.3m) and Josh Brownhill (£4.9m) in the middle.

James Tarkowski (£5.3m) and Ben Mee (£4.9m) continue their impressive partnership at centre-back, with Matt Lowton (£4.4m) and Erik Pieters (£4.3m) at full-back.

Nick Pope (£5.4m) starts in goal, and has delivered five double-digit point hauls already this season.

Ollie Watkins (£6.1m) will be hoping for more of the same after breaking his goal drought against Newcastle.

Lining up behind Watkins in Villa’s customary 4-2-3-1 is Ross Barkley (£5.9m), Jack Grealish (£7.7m) and Bertrand Traore (£5.9m).

John McGinn (£5.5m) and Douglas Luiz (£4.9m) are Villa’s midfield two, with new signing Morgan Sanson not included.

Dean Smith keeps the same backline that featured in Villa’s win over Newcastle with Tyrone Mings (£5.4m) and Ezri Konsa (£4.7m) at centre-back, and Matt Targett (£4.7m) and Matty Cash (£5.0m) at full-back.

Emiliano Martinez (£5.1m) remains in goal.

      Grealish is the new Diego Costa.

    2. MGD
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Should have been carded really...

  2. Steve The Spud

    Burnley almost certainly staying up after these 2 results

    1. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Brighton won tonight puts huge amount of daylight between bottom 3 and safety

  3. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Have Wolves even had a shot on target yet?

  4. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Wood losing BPS...

    1. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Should still get 2 BAPS

    2. MGD
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Still on 2

    This might be the 20th time I type this...Pope masterclass

    1. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He really is great. Think I may have to fork out the extra money for him. A likely 4 pointer in a 3-2 game is very good.

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Have Martinez this season, so not too bothered. But Pope has been immense for me in the past

  6. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Pass the ball Grealish ffs

  7. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Davis looking dangerous, could be a snip at 4.3

  8. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Wow Burnley!

  9. ChelseaGuy

  12. SADIO SANÉ
    • 11 Years

    Dychey for England!!

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Dyche is a legend, no one likes him and he doesn’t GAF

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        yeah I don't like him either, I love him

  13. Babelcopter
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    So Ole G, Ginger Mourinho or Sir David Moyes manager of the season so far?

  14. Steve The Spud

    Burnley will destroy Chelsea next week

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

  15. Rainer

    Bloody hate Burnley, how on earth do they do it?!

    1. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      They get it in the mixer

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Plenty of teams play long ball, they have a knack somehow it’s bizarre

  17. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Grealish losing 3 bp hurt. Should be on 1 now.

  18. Party time

  19. BenDavies

    5 years, 6 months ago

    Very boring game now. Like many others, only own (C) Bruno. EO off the charts.

  20. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Burnley go from scoring 2 goals in the previous 4 games to scoring 3 against Villa. Boo as a Martinez owner!

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

    Grealish crashing from 33, 30 to 28bps.

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Absolutely gutted, absolute collapse from Villa, cost him all 3 bonus

      1. Londongeezaa
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Yup 🙁

  22. popey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    We are far too wasteful, much like the West Ham game cant believe we lost that today

  23. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago
