Aston Villa host Chelsea at Villa Park on Saturday in a bid to push themselves up the table.

Aston Villa will hope to clinch their second victory in seven games as they come up against Chelsea on home turf.

Alex McLeish will be without Charles N'Zogbia as the winger continues to deal with a knee injury, which could lead the way for Marc Albrighton to provide service for loan striker Gabriel Agbonlahor.

Meanwhile, Roberto Di Matteo is likely to stick to his rotation policy and bring in Gary Cahill to partner John Terry in defence with Ashley Cole and Jose Bosingwa placed in the full-back spots.

Didier Drogba is also likely to re-enter the starting XI to replace Fernando Torres after being benched for the Blues' 1-0 win over Benfica in the Champions League quarter-final first leg on Tuesday.

Current form:

Aston Villa: LLDDWL
Chelsea: WWWLDW

Possible lineups:

Aston Villa: Given; Lichaj, Collins Cuellar, Warnock; Herd, Bannan, Ireland, Albrighton; Agbonlahor, Weimann

Chelsea: Cech; Bosingwa, Terry, Cahill, Cole; Ramires, Essien, Lampard, Mata; Sturridge, Drogba

Sports Mole says: 1-2
