v Aston Villa - Patch up back line?


Hopefully Chelsea will pick up where they left off when they visit Villa Park to face our bogey team Aston Villa. Not having a good record against Villa, Chelsea will go into the game with a weekened back four. Captain John Terry pull out of the England team in midweek with a back problem, Alex injured during the win against Arsenal still have a couple of weeks on the sidelines, young Jeffry Bruma also withdrawn by the Holland under 21 team due to injury, leaving only Ivanovic as our recongnize centre back.

The good news is Bosignwa is back after missing for almost a year due to injury, but i think its too early for him, happy if he gets a few minutes just to built his match fitness. The question is who will partner Ivanovic, Terry and Bruma in a race against time to be fit, if both couldnt make it, maybe bosingwa has to start meaning Ferreira to shift to the middle, or maybe utility player Essien to drop back as a make shift centre back. A decision for the manager there. In Carlo we trust.

Knowing the player John Terry is, he will play even with one leg and i'm sure he will do everything to play in this match. Lets hope he recover quickly and fit enough to lead the team tomorrow.

Prediction: Aston Villa 1 - Chelsea 2, but i do hope Chelsea can keep a clean sheet just for the sake of my fantasy football team. ktbffh
