Confirmed Officials: Chelsea vs Aston Villa | Premier League

The officials have been confirmed for Chelsea’s Premier League clash against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.

Aston Villa have claimed four more points than Chelsea from the opening five Premier League matches this season – nine compared to five.

Chelsea’s only win has come at Stamford Bridge in a 3-0 win over Luton Town last month, while Unai Emery’s Villa head to the capital having suffered a 3-2 defeat to Legia Warsaw in the Europa Conference League on Thursday night.

“We have a very good relationship,” Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino said of Emery ahead of Sunday’s clash.

Pochettino added: “He started to coach earlier than me, because he was very early days to be a coach, I was after. We started to play when I was in Spain in different clubs. He is a great coach, and I have a very good relationship with the staff of Aston Villa. It will be great to see him.”
