Matchweek 9 Chelsea vs. Aston Villa

The international break is finally over and it is time to get back into domestic action. League toppers Chelsea take on Aston Villa, who have accrued 13 points in seven games played, at Villa Park this week. Here are the projected is the projected lineup for Chelsea.

Cech
Bosingwa Carvalho Terry A. Cole

Essien

Malouda Lampard Deco

Anelka
Drogba

Ballack will get the nod over Deco to deal with the size of Aston Villa during set pieces.

Prediction: Anelka has regained his form of last season after a slow start this year and Drogba continued his goal scoring frenzy with Ivory Coast. Although Lampard has not found the back of the net since the first game of the season, he has controlled the midfield. The back four is standard, Ivanovic showed real class against Liverpool with very adroit tackles,as well as crosses when he came forward.
