Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa have had a poor start to the campaign and will be desperate for a result against a Chelsea side who have enjoyed a strong start under new manager Graham Potter.

High flying Arsenal have enjoyed an exceptional start to the season under Mikel Arteta and a victory against Leeds United will cement their place at the top of the table for another week.
