While Graham Potter targets three acquisitions and Reece James' return, Chelsea give an early team news hint.

Graham Potter appears prepared to hit Aston Villa with everything this afternoon, if Chelsea's most recent suggestion is to be believed, but keep in mind that it's April Fool's Day, so anything may happen!

Prior to the match against Aston Villa, Chelsea appears to have given away some early team information via its social media accounts. On Saturday afternoon, the Blues will welcome Unai Emery's team to Stamford Bridge as Graham Potter plans a late push for the top-four.

With 38 points, the west London team is now tenth in the Premier League; if they lose to the Villans, Chelsea would drop to the bottom half of the standings. And if the most recent indication is to be believed, Graham Potter is prepared to do all it takes to defeat the visitors with three new recruits who are ready to start.

Enzo Fernandez, Noni Madueke, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Reece James are featured in a pre-game image issued on Chelsea's social media pages. It must be noted, though, that this does not imply that they will start; rather, it generally implies that they will participate in some way.

It is not entirely surprising that Fernandez and James may make their debuts, but Madueke and Mudryk's call-ups are a different story. Since joining Chelsea in January, the two wingers have occasionally excelled, but they have had trouble getting going.

Potter has stated that individuals returning from international service "feel excellent, professional, and experienced" after spending time away from the club with their respective countries. They are feeling fine, according to Chelsea's manager. They are experienced and professional. They are able to handle the demands of both Premier League and international play.

"They recovered well, and we did too. It demonstrates both their professionalism and that of the staff at this location, who support them in doing that.

"Everyone is enthusiastic and looking forward to seeing one another. The team and the group have a good vibe. We are all excited about the weekend and what lies ahead."

When asked about the Blues' objective for the remaining Premier League season, Potter responded as follows: "For us, the focus must be on the upcoming game and winning it. We want to win because we are Chelsea. No matter where we are in the standings after 11 games, we must concentrate on and attempt to win the next game.

"The goal is to defeat Aston Villa. After that, we will face Liverpool and hope to win. Afterwards, we will play Wolves and attempt to win.
