Reserves v Aston Villa LIVE From 7pm
COME ON CHELSEA

The reserves travel to the home of football tonight, Hinckley United FC, to take on the reserves of Aston Villa. We know how successful their conyevor belt to the first team has been and Chelsea can expect a really tough game. With the 'Corrupt Cup' resuming for The Blues in Demark tomorrow night, Chelsea's side will include Academy players, some of may have played in the 3-1 defeat at Southampton on Saturday.
Hat-trick hero in the reserves 4-3 victory against West Ham last week, Fabio Borini looks set to start and he could be joined up front by Milan Lalkovic (who scored the two goals against Arsenal in the FA Youth Cup a couple of weeks ago.
Reserve team coach, Steve Holland said, "Traditionally Villa is one of the most difficult games of the season at reserve level, they have some good players but also use the reserves to keep their senior players fit, which is not something all clubs do.
"Half of the team tonight will be in the FA Youth Cup squad and they've benefited from playing at reserve team level, so that is the main focus rather than where we are in the league", Holland concluded.

Sala produces a good ball to put Borini in, but cleared by Villa in a bit of a tussle. Fabio appealing for a pen in vain

Just seen a replay of Devine lashing out at Borini - how the ref or the assitant didn't see it is beyond me, maybe because Devine is already on a yellow.

Considering Villa beat Arsenal 10-0 in their last outing, Chelsea's youngsters should take this draw as a moral victory as they battled back in the 2nd half from 1-0 down and a points beating.
Villa pressed and pressed in the 1st half, only fine saves from Sebek kept the score at 1-0 when the half came to a close.
In the 2nd half, Deen-Conteh came on from Kaby, and Chalobah moved into the middle and Chelsea's fortunes turned.
They pressed and pressed themselves and got their rewards when Nathanial scored from close range
Chelsea's good work looked undone when minutes later Tore was shown a straight red for getting involved, but Chelsea hung in their and were still the better team.
As well as hitting the post in the first-half Chelsea did so again in the 2nd.
But it was Villa who took the lead 3 mins from time when Forrester fired high into Chelsea's net.
On came Adam Phillip. He was denied by a smart save from Parish and a minute or so later he stuck out a foot and the ball crept over the line for Chelsea to deservedly equalise.
Special mention has to go to Jan Sebek. He had an outstanding game and in the second-half was involved in a horrific collision which left him shaking and fitting whilst flat on his back.
Given the time to recover, he got up, took his place back in goal and caught a restart corner through a melee of players.
