The Premier League have confirmed that Stuart Attwell will take charge of the meeting between Chelsea and Aston Villa. Stuart Attwell will be supported by Con Hatzidakis and Simon Long on the touchline.

Enzo Maresca's side comes into this matchup unbeaten in their last five outings in all competitions. They cruised to a comfortable 2-0 victory over Heidenheim in the Conference League midweek, having dispatched of Leicester City 2-1 beforehand in their previous league outing.

Aston Villa’s decent start to the campaign has stalled somewhat. Unai Emery’s men head to Stamford Bridge without a win in seven games, although an extremely harsh VAR call did halt them from beating Juventus through a last-gasp Morgan Rogers winner in the Champions League on Wednesday.
