This weekend, Chelsea play visitors to relegation-threatened Aston Villa at Villa Park.
In the reverse fixture earlier in the season, Chelsea were the victors in a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge. A goal from Diego Costa and an own goal from Alan Hutton gave the three points to Chelsea.
This fixture will be vital in Aston Villa’s bid for survival in the Premier League, with the Midlands-based club languishing at the bottom of the table.
Currently, Villa are searching for a new manager after sacking Remi Garde earlier in the week, with Eric Black taking temporary charge of the side for the game against Chelsea.
Following Chelsea’s elimination from both the FA Cup and the Champions League, the club will hope to finish the Premier League season as strong as possible.
Given that this fixture is coming up, and that the match is of some importance, here’re five players who played for both Chelsea and Aston Villa.
