The top of the table clash is one of nine post-Christmas Day fixtures not played on Boxing Day, in a break from tradition this year.

Morgan Rogers's brilliance earned the Villans a seventh consecutive league win, and a tenth in a row in all competitions, against Man Utd on Sunday.

Chelsea showed plenty of fight to come from behind and draw 2-2 away at Newcastle last weekend but have drifted seven points from the top three as a result.

Enzo Maresca's side will be desperate to ensure that gap doesn't grow further when they host Aston Villa on Saturday.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Chelsea v Aston Villa on TV and online.
