The two sides met in the Premier League earlier this month, with summer signing Romelu Lukaku putting in a masterful display as the Blues ran out 3-0 winners at the end of a game that was far more even than the scoreline suggests.

Lukaku’s arrival has only elevated expectation at Stamford Bridge and Tuchel’s side have carried their momentum from the Champions League victory at the end of last season into the new campaign.

Villa, meanwhile, have taken time to click into gear after some significant turnover in their squad following the sale of Jack Grealish but blitzed Leicester City with three second-half goals in an impressive display on Saturday.

Date, Time and Venue

Chelsea vs Aston Villa is scheduled for a 7:45pm BST kick-off on Wednesday, September 22, 2021.

This means that the game will start at 02:45 PM EST and 11:45 AM PST on the same date. For fans in India, the game starts at 12:15 AM on Thursday, 23rd September.

The match will be shown on Sky Sports channels in the United Kingdom, who are the official broadcasters and the highlights will be available for livestream on Quest in UK and Ireland. The broadcasting rights of the League Cup in the USA lies with ESPN. For fans in India, EFL Cup is shown on MTV Channel.

You won’t be able to watch Sky Sports or Now TV Sky Sports Pass if you’re outside the UK unless you use a good VPN service on your PC or mobile device. A good VPN service does much more than let you stream content that’s not available in your country. We think that it’s becoming increasingly important for everyone to use one because whenever you switch on a VPN all your online activity is encrypted, meaning no one - not even your ISP - can see what you do when you go online.

Best VPN services

ExpressVPN: Of all the VPN services we’ve reviewed, we can confidently say that ExpressVPN is the best one we’ve used for streaming. Not only has its entire service been independently audited to confirm that it doesn’t log or store any user data, but you can also use it on five devices simultaneously, making it a great option for a family or a group of friends. It also has the fastest speeds, especially when connecting to far-off locations like the UK, US and Australia. Our readers get 49% off when they subscribe to the one-year plan. The service has 24/7 customer support and a 30-day no-questions-asked moneyback guarantee.

NordVPN: A close second to ExpressVPN is NordVPN because you get many of the same award-winning features at a discounted price and you can even use your subscription on six devices at the same time. Both VPNs have 24/7 customer support, a 30-day moneyback guarantee but - more importantly - highly secure servers that don't leak your data and even independently-conducted audits to prove that the VPN service cannot access any of your browsing data. We also like the NordVPN PC interface that contains a map of the world. To use the VPN in a particular country, simply select it on the map before you start streaming.

Chelsea Team News

Chelsea are without at least a couple of important starters, with Reece James serving a red card suspension and Thiago Silva banned by FIFA until next week after the Blues refused to release him for international duty for Brazil.

Romelu Lukaku has had to undergo a scan on a thigh injury, while N’Golo Kante also remains a doubt after withdrawing from international duty with an ankle problem. Christian Pulisic is another doubt. On the plus side, there could be a debut for deadline day signing Saul Niguez.

Aston Villa Team News

Emi Martinez and Emi Buendia are both unavailable for Villa because of enforced quarantine upon their return from Argentina. That will mean back-up goalkeeper Jed Steer’s first Premier League appearance since an eight-minute cameo in November 2019.

Manager Dean Smith is hoping to have Leon Bailey available. Ezri Konsa’s fitness could be touch and go but he should make it, while Bertrand Traore is also an injury doubt. Morgan Sansom, meanwhile, has been in full training since the end of August.

Chelsea vs Aston Villa: Head to Head History

Photo 90min

Chelsea haven’t lost against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge for almost 10 years, since a 3-1 defeat in December 2011 when Stephen Ireland, Stilian Petrov and Darren Bent all scored.

This has largely been a one-sided rivalry ever since. Aside from two Villa wins at Villa Park, which includes the most recent times these teams have met, Chelsea have won 10 of the last 13. However, last season was actually the first season they failed to beat Villa at least once since the 2010/11 campaign.

Altogether, in over 100 years of facing each other, it is pretty even. Chelsea have won 64, Villa have won 58 and there have been 35 draws.

Chelsea vs Aston Villa Prediction

Thomas Tuchel could well make 11 changes to his side and still boast a frighteningly good XI, meaning Villa face a daunting task regardless of how highly the German values this competition.

Chelsea to win 2-0.
