Villa will end the season in 11th spot on the league standings following a 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur earlier this week. 
 
Chelsea on the other hand still have a lot to play for going into Sunday's match at Villa Park.
 
The Blues need to win to ensure that Uefa Champions League football returns to Stamford Bridge next season, but are in pole position to do so after moving up to third with a 2-1 win over Leicester City. 
 
"The fans made a huge difference. The speed in our game, the hunger, the ambition. It was a very strong performance," said Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.
 
"The job is not done but it's still in our hands. We need another huge performance at Aston Villa."

The reverse fixture in London earlier this campaign ended in a 1-1 draw. Chelsea's Olivier Giroud opened the scoring before an equalising goal from Anwar El Ghazi for the visitors.
