Chelsea
Working with injury and illness concerns in the double figures, Chelsea will certainly be without Cesar Azpilicueta, Raheem Sterling, Wesley Fofana, Armando Broja and Thiago Silva this week, and doubts are lingering over a wealth of other first-team regular fixtures.
Kai Havertz (illness) and Reece James (thigh) were both forced out of international duty midway through the break, while all of Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Edouard Mendy will need assessing too - the former will only be fit enough for the bench if he can recover from a pubic problem.
James's England withdrawal was thought to have been more precautionary than anything else, though, while Havertz will also likely recover from a bout of flu in time to lead the line.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Kepa; Badiashile, Koulibaly, Cucurella; James, Fernandez, Kovacic, Chilwell; Mudryk, Havertz, Felix
Aston Villa
Meanwhile, it is largely as you were in the Villa infirmary, but Poland right-back Matty Cash is now facing up to three weeks out with a calf injury sustained against the Czech Republic.
Jed Steer and Philippe Coutinho welcome Cash into the treatment room, but Boubacar Kamara and Leander Dendoncker could force their way back into the squad, and Ashley Young should earn an immediate recall to the right flank.
Emery otherwise has no reason to alter a winning formula, as Ollie Watkins aims to become the first player in Villa's history to score in five successive Premier League away games, but he has met Chelsea five times without making the net ripple.
Aston Villa possible starting lineup:
Martinez; Young, Konsa, Mings, Moreno; McGinn, Luiz; Bailey, Buendia, Ramsey; Watkins
Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Aston Villa
