A game, an actual game featuring Aston Villa! Okay, it’s the reserves, but Bannan, Delfouneso, Herd and Baker are in action and I haven’t done a live blog since pre-season, so it seemed like a good excuse.

Villa Starting XI: Parish; Herd, Devine, Williams, Baker; Carruthers, Gardner, Bannan, Steiber; Forrester, Delfouneso. Subs: Berry, Barrett, Deeney, Johnson, Graham.

Chelsea Starting XI: Sebek, Chalobah, Pappoe, Kalas, Clifford, Woods, Tore, Djalo, Borini, Sala, Lalkovic. Subs: Phillip, Walker, Deen-Conteh, Sampayo, Kane.
