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

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Very happy. Love it when I lose points

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

    4. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years

    1. space mercenary
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Harsh on his owners. He's been involved in everything.

  23. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Chelsea paid more upfront to Brighton for Graham Potter than Arsenal did for Leandro Trossard

  24. gibson1314

    Kepa hates the Scots !

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      So why is so generous?

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Surely madueke should be starter. Saw his goals in the u21 looked great.

  26. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years

    OMGGG YESS MCGINN!!!!

  27. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    That massive hard on we all had for Chilwell last week looks sillier by the minute

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Nah he's been fantastic. Questionable disallowed goal.

      Done over by Cucurella being an idiot and a banger.

  28. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Villa have apparently scored 2 goals with only 1 shot on target. Stats aye.

  29. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Henry outscores Chilwell at the minute ... how come?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Let's just say the ref doesn't own Chilwell

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Yc and before 60

  30. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Small consolation is that Kante is back . Yet another terrible performance which Potter seems incapable of changing. Grim times
