Chelsea return to Premier League action for the first time since March while Aston Villa play again for the second time in five days after they ended their hiatus on Wednesday night.
Villa played out a goalless draw with Sheffield United in midweek which has left them 19th in the table, although they are just one point from safety and a win on Sunday would see them jump to 16th.
Results were kind for Chelsea over the last two days with Leicester above them and Manchester United below them both drawing, meaning victory on Sunday would cement fourth place and see the Blues go within three points of third.
Frank Lampard has the likes of Tammy Abraham, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic all available again after injuries before the coronavirus hiatus, leaving him with plenty of options in midfield and attack for this contest.
What time is Aston Villa vs Chelsea?
The match kicks off at 4.15pm on Sunday 21 June at Villa Park.
What TV channel is Aston Villa vs Chelsea on and is there a live stream?
Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League will be showing the game live, with coverage following the Newcastle vs Sheffield United match.
