Sunday's match against Aston Villa comes at a critical moment in Chelsea's season.
They are in the middle of two games against Arsenal in the Champions League - losing the first leg 3-1 on Tuesday - and after a 1-1 draw against London City last weekend, they lost ground in the race to compete in Europe next season.
The Blues need a big performance and a big result on their return to Kingsmeadow to not only boost their confidence ahead of Wednesday's second leg, but also keep pace with the teams around them in the top four.
Aston Villa won't make it easy though, and have enjoyed games on the road recently. They have won more points in the league under Natalia Arroyo away (20) than at home (15), and have conceded just one goal in their last two away games.
