Chelsea FC will aim at extending their lead and strengthening their grip at the zenith of the English Premier League table when they travel to play Aston Villa at the famous Villa Park on Saturday afternoon. However, here is the squad I predict Jose Mourinho should choose for the showdown:
*The Goalkeeper: *Thibaut Courtois has cemented himself as Chelsea FC’s No.1 therefore, the Belgian is once again tipped to start ahead of Petr Cech.
*The Defence: *Jose Mourinho will render a thorough check on the fitness of the Brazilian, Filipe Luis after the left-back missed the last game which was against Manchester City FC with a calf injury, so Spanish international Cesar Azpilicueta is expected to keep his place at left-back. Pacey young star Kurt Zouma who has so far kept Gary Cahill on the sidelines for the last two matches will stay on the bench but Jose made those decisions because of the pace of Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero in those matches, which gives Gary Cahill a
recall to handle the more physical Christian Benteke tommorow. Veterans John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic should complete the back four.

*The Midfield: *Super star Cesc Fabregas is still injured with a hamstring and is expected to miss the next game, so also is John Obi Mikel
who is presently struggling with a head injury. Which leaves chelsea FC with an option to select Ramires who could pair up Manja Matic in the heart of the Midfield.
*The Attack: *New recruit, Juan Cuadrado should be named in the squad for the game but he’s more likely to start from the bench. However, the Brazilians Oscar and Willian should be lining-up alongside Eden Hazard in attack. Diego Costa who has been banned for three consecutive games will serve the second of his three-match ban, so Jose may opt for Didier Drogba to lead the line against Villa.
