Team News

Aston Villa
Chelsea
  • Ross Barkley has most likely played his last game for Aston Villa as he cannot face parent club Chelsea on Sunday. After a bright start to life on loan, his impact faded fast and Villa aren't expected to pursue him permanently.
  • Douglas Luiz and Jacob Ramsey will hope to return to the side but Dean Smith may well go unchanged. Ahmed Elmohamady and Neil Taylor should at least get cameos as their contracts expire this summer.
  • Thomas Tuchel is confident N'Golo Kante has avoided a serious injury despite coming off early in to their 2-1 win over Leicester on Tuesday but it would be a surprise if he was risked here with the Champions League final around the corner.
  • The Chelsea head coach would ideally field a weakened side here but the Blues still need a result to guarantee a top four finish. Aside from Kante being rested, we should therefore see Chelsea's best available line-up.
  • Tuchel is hopeful Kai Havertz will be available on Sunday and he has more of a chance of actually playing than Kante, while Andreas Christensen will also make the squad after injury.

Prediction

  • Aston Villa ended a three-game winless streak with a 2-1 win away to Tottenham in midweek. Dean Smith's side are locked in to 11th place no matter what happens on the final day of the season. That position is a little deceiving as they could have been pushing for Europe had Jack Grealish not missed 12 games through injury.
  • Chelsea just need to match Leicester's result and they will secure a place in the top four on the final day, while a win for Thomas Tuchel's side would guarantee them third place. Having to field a strong XI on Sunday is far from ideal for Tuchel, as they have the Champions League final a week later.
  • Chelsea have won their last three trips to Villa Park but can expect a tough game here. Recent encounters between the two in Birmingham have also been a bit fiery, with five red cards in the last five. Tuchel is unbeaten away from home in the Premier League (W6, D2) and desperately needs that form to continue here.
