Aston Villa are about to kick off a match in which they have about as slim of a chance of getting a result as any other this season. Chelsea have been off their own pace a bit lately, but that doesn't mean they're not the same team who are running to the Premier League title basically unhindered.
But there are a few things working in Aston Villa's favor today. Chelsea will be without the suspended Diego Costa, and they very well may be without Cesc Fabresgas. If the latter is true, they may start Ramires, and we all remember what happened the last time he was on the Villa Park pitch. And speaking of Mourinho's frustration in Birmingham, the Chosen One has never won at Villa Park.
So maybe there's hope, and maybe you'd like to watch. We're here for you. Below you'll find all of the info you need to watch the match live, we'll have lineups when they're posted, and you can join in the comments to discuss the goings-on. Here's hoping we all come away surprised, and up the Villa!
