Chelsea Under-21s are hard at work in training ahead of the team's first Stamford Bridge fixture of the season, preparing to host Aston Villa in a Premier League 2 clash on Friday night at 7pm.

Our last outing was a successful one, back in the second week of March. We travelled to Norwich City and came home with all three points after a 3-1 win, thanks to goals from Ishe Samuels-Smith, Donnell McNeilly and Shumaira Mheuka.

Now that the squad is back at Cobham after the March international break, our focus is again on Premier League 2 action, as we prepare to face Aston Villa in our last home fixture of this season's league stage, hoping to take a step closer to a seeded spot in the championship play-offs.

There is still time to secure your seat at Stamford Bridge to be there for our Under-21s' match against Aston Villa, with all members and season ticket holders (for both the men's and women's teams), as well as anyone under the age of 20, able to claim a free ticket. General sale tickets are also available priced at £4.

If you can't make it to the stadium, you can watch the fixture live for free on the official Chelsea website and app.

In the meantime, here are some of our favourite images of Filipe Coelho and his squad getting ready for that big game on a sunny afternoon at Cobham...
