Lukaku to start please and hope to see Mata and Hazard playing in the starting 11 and 3 points

[Ankit 3,176]

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Aston Villa's last 12 away games in the Premier League.

Chelsea have won 7 of their last 8 home matches in the Premier League.

Chelsea have scored at least 2 goals in 8 of their last 9 home matches in the Premier League.

Aston Villa have scored at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 away matches in the Premier League.

We always struggled against Villa with Jose and even without Jose the games were so unpredictable and crazy. After their great result against Arsenal, they'll be confident but i reckon we'll bring them back down to earth and get the job done. Will be a good game though and quite entertaining. 3-1.

[Jype 6,398]

Another 8-0 against Villa maybe too much to ask for?

[Stingray 9,441]

Well .... We have got so much depth it is no longer about getting favorites in. It is about winning, rotating and keep winning!

José knows goober:

[The Mak 4,459]

Lukaku might actually start this one. I think José might use the 'Lukaku Vs. Benteke for the national team' thing to try and light a fire under Romelu. I still think he'll mainly be used as super-sub material like he was at West Brom though.

[Ankit 3,176]

I expect Luiz and Mata to be back for this one. Lukaku should start too ahead of BA and Torres. Van Ginkel to start too. . Hold on, i can name an entire new eleven for this match from the previous one. When did we acquire so much depth?

Cech

Iva JT Luiz Cole

Van Ginkel Essien

Schurrle Mata Hazard/Kdb

Cech

Azpi Cahill Terry Bertrand

Van Ginkel Essien

De Bruyne Mata Schurrle

Rest Oscar and Hazard for United

Cech

Azpi Cahill Terry Bertrand

Van Ginkel Essien

De Bruyne Mata Schurrle

Lukaku

Rest Oscar and Hazard for United

I'd actually prefer Ba to start and save Lukaku for United. But other than that this squad is what I would use.Hopefully Jose saw the villa vs arsenal match and is aware of Villa's counter attacking game and the threat Benteke is
