We’re six games down and we’re still awaiting our first clean sheet of Gameweek 29.

There’ll be a lot of Fantasy managers hoping for a shut-out in the final match of the day, with Ben Chilwell and Kepa Arrizabalaga widely owned.

Ollie Watkins is a fairly popular pick himself, of course, so there’ll be plenty of us with divided loyalties in the clash at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea v Aston Villa is the evening kick-off, which gets underway at 17:30 BST.

Graham Potter makes three changes to the side that he sent out in Gameweek 28 as Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mykhailo Mudryk and Marc Cucurella are recalled to the line-up.

Wesley Fofana misses out through injury while Christian Pulisic and Benoit Badisashile are benched.

Kai Havertz and Reece James pulled out of their national team squads with illness and injury respectively but are fit to start.

Potter confirmed ahead of kick-off that James is playing as a centre-half in a back three, with Loftus-Cheek deployed as a wing-back.

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery make two changes to the side that beat Bournemouth 3-0 two weeks ago.

Ashley Young is in for the injured Matty Cash, while Boubacar Kamara returns from his own lay-off to oust the benched Leon Bailey.

GAMEWEEK 29 LINE-UPS

Chelsea XI: Kepa, James, Koulibaly, Cucurella, Chilwell, Enzo, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Mudryk, Joao Felix, Havertz

Subs: Bettinelli, Badiashile, Kante, Pulisic, Chalobah, Mount, Gallagher, Chukwuemeka, Madueke

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Young, Mings, Konsa, Moreno, McGinn, Luiz, Kamara, Buendia, Ramsey, Watkins

Subs: Sinisalo, Wright, Carlos, Traore, Chambers, Palacio, Digne, Bailey, Dendoncker

    Trossard would've scored that Mudryk chance easily

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Even Darwin would have scored that

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

  9. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Damn nearly a goal from both of my 'attackers'.

  10. chocolove
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Arsenal should be grateful for signing Trossard instead of Mudryk now...

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

    • 10 Years

    Felix being consistent

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      They'll get chances on the break if Ramsey can look up...

  13. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Chelsea's big signings really aren't showing their value

    Why can't Chilwell to Havertz ever work

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Cos you can't transfer a defender for a forward

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Never going to happen....Havertz couldn't finish his dinner

  16. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Chilwell positions are ridiculous!

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years

  18. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Havertz so bad.....never in the right position. Can see him getting hooked......rubbish player

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Wouldn't say he's been the most wasteful of your front three. Probably the least wasteful.

  19. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Is Chilwell hurt?

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years

    2. g40steve

    Chilwell goal disallowed for some reason

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Barely a push. Can't believe it's been chopped off

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Even speaking as a Chelsea fan it was a push.
