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

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years

        • 12 Years
        3 years, 14 days ago

        Must be the injury doubts

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

      Shaw didn't eat bad chicken curry, but was he with Saka during itb?

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

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      I can't wait to see that.

  4. Superflymonk

    Double Chelsea defence looking really bad now with Liverpool next.

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

      Chilly vs TAA though

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

      Liverpool are away

      Chelsea win 2-1?

    3. Fintroy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      So pleased I transferred in Chillwell....not

  5. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Chelsea back to where the belong and it’s quite beautiful! Always been a tinpot club

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

      Yawn

  6. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Chilwell on zero points is really something that is both predictable and inexplicable at the same time

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

      this is true

      The rest of them need to step up

  7. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Can't give a pen there

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

    On the plus side it will be quite difficult for us to fall below 11th spot... but not impossible.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Hopefully you get relegated

  9. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    No Shaw, great. I really have no luck with these hits.

    Have Saka, Henry, Mee, Kepa as well, so BB wasted.

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

      Is Kepa really your 2nd best gk?

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

        quite possibly

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

          Well, if you have Iversen over Raya or Steele, I feel sorry for you.

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

            I've got Pope

      2. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 14 days ago

        Have Steele

    2. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Qhays up with Shaw?

      1. Sharkytect
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 14 days ago

        What's

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

          he missed the bus

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

            Stop by to nearest donut store

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

              he's well stocked

              But better than drinking all the way up to the 'toon

  10. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Mings since GW25: 7, 8, 2, 12, 6 (atm) with a nice LEI fixture to come!

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

      Close to jinx

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

      it's quite incredible but they do have good runs

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

    Kante big miss

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

      Would have been offside

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

        Wouldn't have been.

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

          I disagree from the replay that I saw, but not 100% guaranteed.

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

            He was wildly onside

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

              I will check that situation after the game. If the assister is offside, it's offside.

  12. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Enzo YC on fellow Argentinan McGinn

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

    Kante : I am the Drogba now. So hilariously attacking.

  14. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    One more YC for Chillwell, let's go!

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Would sort my bench headache

  15. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Referee as crap in this as the one in the City Pool game was good. Petty idiot

  16. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Chilwell was a trap, annoyed with myself for getting sucked in.

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

      And had he scored... 😉

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

        he might have been more pleased with himself

        Probably scores against 'Pool

    2. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      You are obviously not watching his matches

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      He's really not

    4. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years

    5. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 6 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

  18. Drumandbaines123
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Has the Martinez from 2 seasons back returned?

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

    Tuchel beating Dortmund 4-0 at the same time. How sweet.

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Enough said - Porter a really nice chap but the job is way too big for him must go

  20. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    That's a pen

  21. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Don't like to brag too much, but GW rank of 7.2million at the moment...how's your gameweek going?

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

      You couldn't even make 8 figures. Pathetic.

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

        I feel ashamed 🙁

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Stop with your bragging. How many points is that?

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

        26 points...21 of them from Toney, Mitoma and March.

  22. alsybach
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Chelsea are utter shiiiite. Potter sacked, their forward line is championship at best. Garbage.

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

      Just few years back. We were so excited to see Ziyech Pulisic Havertz Werner front line...

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

      yet they play at real madrid in the Champions League in 11 days time

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 14 days ago

        Must be only thinking keeping Porter job safe - should have gone at christmas!

  23. james 101
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Do we think Baddy will play Chelsea’s next game?

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Should have played today?

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

    Now I regret not getting Salah for Saka...

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Same

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

      Well, anytime goalscorer odds 3.25 atm. Easy money, that should be below 3.

  25. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Chilly making Haaland type runs time and again just needs a kdb to pick him out

  26. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Whatever happened to that Mount guy?

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

      Potter

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

        Graham or Harry, you decide 😉

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      His agent currently spreading rumours about Bayern. He's Chelsea's Harry Winks.

    3. Kane and Ablett
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

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

  28. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Apart from the goal Watkins has done nothing at all

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

      Tell that too Havertz owners lol

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

  29. Bluetiger1
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    GW29 - OMG

    Saka & Haaland owners game week nightmare,

    only thing worse if Rashford does not play a
    full 180 mins with assists/goals
