The Chelsea vs Aston Villa live stream should be another fascinating matchup between two teams with very different ambitions this season. The Blues are undefeated so far and sit near the top of the table with seven points. Villa, on the other hand, are languishing in mid-table with one win, one loss, and one draw. Can they once again become a thorn in Chelsea's side?

Despite the departure of local hero Jack Grealish, Villa has played strongly this season. Danny Ings has been substituted, but rising star Emiliano Buendia will not play in this match. This is because Buendía and goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez were traveling to the Brazil-Argentina match during the international break and cannot play for quarantine reasons. FW Leon Bailey and former Chelsea FW Bertrand Traore, however, returned this weekend and are on the bench.

Stamford Bridge will be filled with cheers as the Blues look to continue their unbeaten run and bounce back from their draw against Liverpool in the third round. Coach Thomas Tuchel has doubts about his starting lineup due to injuries to Romelu Lukaku (thigh) and Christian Pulisic (ankle). Still, Chelsea has proven to be a solid defense, even with their lack of attacking power.

Here is the lineup:

Chelsea Chelsea: Mendy, Rüdiger, Alonso, Silva, Kovacic, Lukaku, Chalobah, Niguez, Hudson-Odoi, Ziyek, Havertz

Aston Villa: Steer, Cash, Target, Consa, Mings, Lewis, McGinn, Watkins, Tuanzebe, Ings, Ramsey
