Aston Villa
Leon Bailey could return to the Villa squad after a minor muscle injury, Gerrard may give consideration to naming the same side from the 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest.
Danny Ings is the most likely alternative in attack with Philippe Coutinho, Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins all at risk of dropping down to the substitutes' bench.
Aston Villa possible starting lineup:
Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Young; McGinn, Luiz, Ramsey; Buendia, Watkins, Coutinho
Chelsea
As well as N'Golo Kante being absent for a number of weeks after a recurrence of a hamstring injury, Chelsea were dealt a blow earlier this week when Reece James suffered an issue with his knee.
The Englishman will not be in contention for this game, likely seeing Cesar Azpilicueta recalled as his replacement, and further alterations are expected as Potter juggles a triple-header of Villa, Brentford and Manchester United.
Either Ruben Loftus-Cheek or Conor Gallagher could replace Jorginho, while Christian Pulisic may start after remaining as an unused substitute at San Siro.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Arrizabalaga; Chalobah, Silva, Koulibaly; Azpilicueta, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Chilwell; Mount; Pulisic; Aubameyang
Prediction: Aston Villa 1-2 Chelsea
