The Aston Villa back four are being stretched but they're standing up top the pressure. Ezri Konsa and Victor Lindelof are backing themselves to win the headers, and at the minute, they're doing that.

Matty Cash received a booking for a late tackle on Alejandro Garnacho and Chelsea are well on top and pushing for an opener.

It has sparked a series of complaints led by John McGinn, who is also remonstrating with fourth official Tim Robinson as the match goes on.

It's defender Marc Cucurella at the heart of the needle between the two teams from a Chelsea perspective.

Now an attempt by Reece James. It flashes wide of Emi Martinez's post. Unai Emery needs to change something because it's all Chelsea.

Chelsea want a penalty after Joao Pedro goes down inside the box while under pressure from Victor Lindelof. Nothing given.

This is such an intriguing watch. How are Chelsea not ahead?

Half an hour on the clock. It's all Chelsea. Six attempts, 77% possession. But Aston Villa are still level as they hunt an 11 straight win in all competitions.

First caution of the game after Matty Cash lunges in on Alejandro Garnacho. That's bad news for Villa as Cash will now miss Tuesday's game at Arsenal.

You can see why Aston Villa are giving it away so often, they're being instructed to get it forward so quickly so it ends up being one against one, or one against two.

Enzo Maresca is serving a touchline suspension so is watching this from the back of the press box.

Chelsea are not knocking on the door. They're absolutely hammering on it! Another chance for Enzo Fernandez. Blocked.

They've done everything but score.

Now Joao Pedro is denied by Emi Martínez as Chelsea continue to pile on the pressure. Four attempts by the home side - but none on target.

The chances continue to fall for Chelsea.

Moises Caicedo and then Cole Palmer. Both blocked.

20 minutes on the clock and Chelsea continue to boss possession - 77.1%.

Enzo Maresca's side look the team more likely to score right now.

You've got to score. Enzo Fernandez knows what a good chance that is. That was the first time Cole Palmer was in space and that's the first time we've seen that since the opening moments of the game.

Poor from Fernandez.

Chelsea have really missed Cole Palmer.

Now free from injury, he's starting to exert his influence on this game.

Morgan Rogers gets a lengthy talking to from referee Stuart Attwell after he pushes Marc Cucurella to the floor in a confrontation that had been brewing.

Cucuralla needlessly left something on Rogers in a challenge a few seconds previously, much to the Villa man's annoyance, but he still should not be raising his arms to push an opponent to the ground.

That's a wonderful Chelsea move straight off the training ground.

Cole Palmer is at the heart of it before Alejandro Garnacho lays it into the path of Enzo Fernandez whose curling attempt drops agonisingly wide.

This game has yet to settle.

It's still very much helter-skelter and a little bit scrappy.

The Aston Villa away supporters have spotted VIP darts guest David Munyua, who supports Chelsea, and are targeting him with "oooh Michael van Gerwen chants".

That's pretty good knowledge of the sport of darts from away fans in west London given van Gerwen knocked him out of the World Darts Championship.

What's he doing?

Morgan Rogers has just deliberately pushed Marc Cucurella to the ground in frustration.

Referee Stuart Attwell is giving Villa's No 27 a stern talking to.
